Process one XattrFile. You have to override this method (unless your class inherits from BatchStep, see batch_process() in that case).

The file is moved into a temporary directory before the call with an unique filename. Extended attributes are copied to it. So you can do what you want with it.

If the method returns True:

• we considerer that the processing is ok
• the file is delete if necessary

If the method doesn’t return True:

• we considerer that the processing is not ok (a warning message is

  logged).

• the file is given to the choosen failure policy.

Parameters:xaf – XattrFile object. Returns:processing status (True: ok, False: not ok) Return type:boolean
