.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "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.
.PP
Internally this module uses the File::ExtAttr module. So it has
the same restrictions as that module in terms of OS support.
.SH METHODS
.IX Header "METHODS"
.ie n .IP "tie ""File::ExtAttr::Tie"", $filename, [\e%flags]" 4
.el .IP "tie ""File::ExtAttr::Tie"", \f(CW$filename\fR, [\e%flags]" 4
.IX Item "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 \f(CW\*(C`namespace\*(C'\fR flag makes sense. The hash will be tied
to the default namespace, if no flags are given.
