SUMMARY
The FILE_READ_EA and FILE_WRITE_EA specific types provide access to read
and write a file's extended attributes. Specific access types are
represented as bits in the access mask and are specific to the object type
associated with the mask.
Please note that these specific types are used in the definition of
constants such as FILE_GENERIC_READ, and are not intended to be generally
used when specifying access (generic access types are much more
appropriate).
