NAME¶
gfxattr - Manipulate extended attributes in Gfarm file systemSYNOPSIS¶
gfxattr [-s | -g | -l | -r] [-x] [-c | -m] [-f xattrfile] file [xattrname]
DESCRIPTION¶
gfxattr manipulates extended attributes and XML extended attributes of a specified file. An extended attribute consists of an attribute name and an attribute value, which are arbitrary strings. An XML extended attribute is an extended attribute having an XML attribute value. Since XML extended attributes have a different name space from extended attributes, the same attribute name can be used.When the -x option is specified, XML extended attributes are manipulated. It is possible to search XML extended attributes by XPath query using gffindxmlattr command.
All files and directories in Gfarm file system can keep extended attributes. When removing a file or directory, the associated extended attributes are also removed.
Either -s, -g, -l, or -r option should be specified.

specified, the extended attribute is overwritten if it is already set.
