DESCRIPTION
The
setfattr command associates a new

name for each specified file.
OPTIONS
Tag | Description |
-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 interpreted as file names, even if they
start with a dash character.
