NAME¶
File::ExtAttr::Tie - Tie interface to extended attributes of files
SYNOPSIS¶
use File::ExtAttr::Tie;
use Data::Dumper;
tie %a,
"File::ExtAttr::Tie", "/Applications (Mac OS 9)/Sherlock 2",
{ namespace => 'user' };
print Dumper \%a;
produces:
$VAR1 = {
'com.apple.FinderInfo' => 'APPLfndf!?',
'com.apple.ResourceFork' => '?p?p5I'
};
DESCRIPTION¶
File::ExtAttr::Tie provides access to extended attributes of a file through a
tied hash. Creating a new key creates a new extended attribute associated with
the file. Modifying the value or removing a key likewise modifies/removes the
extended attribute.
Internally this module uses the File::ExtAttr module. So it has the same
restrictions as that module in terms of OS support.
METHODS¶
- tie "File::ExtAttr::Tie", $filename, [\%flags]
- The flags are the same optional flags as in File::ExtAttr. Any flags given
here will be passed to all operations on the tied hash. Only the
"namespace" flag makes sense. The hash will be tied to the
default namespace, if no flags are given.
SEE ALSO¶
File::ExtAttr
