SETFATTR(1)
NAME
setfattr - set extended attributes of filesystem objects
SYNOPSIS
setfattr [-h] -n name [-v value] pathname... setfattr [-h] -x name pathname... setfattr [-h] --restore=file
DESCRIPTION
- The setfattr command associates a new value with an extended attribute
name for each specified file.
- OPTIONS
- -n name, --name=name
Specifies the name of the extended attribute to set.
- -v value, --value=value
Specifies the new value for the extended attribute.
- -x name, --remove=name
Remove the named extended attribute entirely.
- -h, --no-dereference
Do not follow symlinks. If pathname is a symbolic link, it is not followed, but is instead itself the inode being modified.
- --restore=file
Restores extended attributes from file. The file must be in the format generated by the getfattr command with the --dump option. If a dash (-) is given as the file name, setfattr reads from standard input.
- --version
Print the version of setfattr and exit.
- --help
Print help explaining the command line options.
- -- End of command line options. All remaining parameters are inter
preted as file names, even if they start with a dash character.
