setfattr − set extended attributes of filesystem objects
setfattr
[−h] −n name [−v
value] pathname...
setfattr [−h] −x name
pathname...
setfattr [−h]
−−restore=file
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 interpreted as file names, even if they start with a dash character. |
