NAME
getfattr - get extended attributes of filesystem objects
SYNOPSIS
getfattr [-hRLP] -n name [-e en] pathname...
getfattr [-hRLP] -d [-e en] [-m pattern] pathname...
DESCRIPTION
For each file,
getfattr
displays the file name,
and the set of extended attribute names (and optionally values) which
are associated with that file.
The output format of
getfattr -d
is as follows:
-
1: # file: somedir/
2: user.name0="value0"
3: user.name1="value1"
4: user.name2="value2"
5: ...
Line 1 identifies the file name for which the
following lines are being reported.
The remaining lines (lines 2 to 4 above) show the
name
and
value
pairs associated with the specified file.
