|

|
.Nd retrieve a named extended attribute
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl ls
|
|
.Ar attrnamespace
|
|
.Ar attrname
|
|
.Ar filename ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a user tool to retrieve a named extended attribute on a file or
|
|
directory.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar attrnamespace
|
|
argument should be the namespace of the attribute to retrieve: legal
|
|
values are "user" and "system".
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar attrname
|
|
argument should be the name of the attribute, and
|
|
.Ar filename
|
|
a list of files and directories from which to retrieve attribute data.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Print attributes in the first column and file names in the second.
|
|
Can be used only in conjunction with the
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Attempt to display the attribute data as a string, although the
|
|
results may not look pretty if the data is binary data.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr strvisx 3
|
|
function is used to generate the string, so control sequences should
|
|
be safely escaped.
|
|
Otherwise, the attribute data will be represented as a series of two-digit
|
|
hex numbers.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
In order for
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to succeed, the attribute service must be available on the file system,
|
|
and the attribute must of defined for the file queried.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# getextattr system md5 /boot/kernel/kernel
|
|
/boot/kernel/kernel:
|

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
Extended attribute support was developed as part of the TrustedBSD Project,
|
|
and introduced in
|
|
.Fx 5.0 .
|
|
It was developed to support security extensions requiring additional labels
|
|
to be associated with each file or directory.

|
|
The output format for this utility is ugly, and worse yet, not very useful.
