The
setfattr
command associates a new
value
with an extended attribute
name
for each specified file.
OPTIONS
-nname, --name=name
Specifies the name of the extended attribute to set.
-vvalue, --value=value
Specifies the new value for the extended attribute.
-xname, --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.
