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). |
