xattr is a Python wrapper for extended filesystem attributes.
|
|
|
|
xattr also ships with an xattr command line tool for viewing and
|
|
editing extended filesystem attributes. On platforms that support or
|
|
ship with the attr package, you may prefer to use the getfattr and
|
|
setfattr command line tools from the attr package.
|
|
|
|
Extended attributes extend the basic attributes of files and
|
|
directories in the file system. They are stored as name:data pairs
|
|
associated with file system objects (files, directories, symlinks,
|
|
etc).
|
|
|
|
Extended attributes are currently only available on Darwin 8.0+ (Mac
|
|
OS X 10.4) and Linux 2.6+. Experimental support is included for Solaris
|
|
and FreeBSD).
