On platforms that support or +ship with the attr package, you may prefer to use the getfattr and +setfattr command line tools from the attr package. + +Extended attributes extend the basic attributes of files and +directories in the file system. They are stored as name:data pairs +associated with file system objects (files, directories, symlinks, +etc). + +Extended attributes are currently only available on Darwin 8.0+ (Mac +OS X 10.4) and Linux 2.6+. Experimental support is included for Solaris +and FreeBSD). |
