Package description for 'attr'

Extended Attributes Of Filesystem Objects

 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated perma-
 nently with files and directories, similar to the environ-
 ment  strings associated with a process.  An attribute may
 be defined or undefined.  If it is defined, its value  may
 be empty or non-empty.
 Extended   attributes   are   extensions   to  the  normal
 attributes which are associated with  all  inodes  in  the
 system  (i.e.  the  stat(2) data).  They are often used to
 provide additional functionality to  a  filesystem  -  for
 example,  additional security features such as Access Con-
 trol  Lists  (ACLs)  may  be  implemented  using  extended
 attributes.
