Extended attributes and thread safety

Does anybody know whether it is safe to use the extended attribute C- 
library at sys/xattr.h (getxattr, setxattr, etc) on background  
threads? The documentation does not mention anything about thread  
safety, but I could imagine it to run into problems if it'd use global  
resources, and the functions seem to use at least one global variable.

Thanks,
Christiaan
