Probing a ntfs-3g mounted volume, the CLI command getfattr -n system.ntfs_times file gives me:

system.ntfs_times=0sUMKxfHwEyQFMaayBfwTJAXa37TWB98oB7hGD3t6jyQE=

and according to man the leading 0s indicates it is base64 encoded. Likewise getfattr -e hex -n system.ntfs_times file gives hex output:

system.ntfs_times=0x50c2b17c7c04c9014c69ac817f04c90176b7ed3581f7ca01ee1183dedea3c901

And from there, even your verbose comments, do not help me much. I've used unpack() in the past but more in trial and error... How am I supposed to extract 4 epoch values from this string?
