.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility
|
|
is the management utility for extended attributes over the UFS1 file system.
|
|
It allows the starting and stopping of extended attributes on a file system,
|
|
as well as initialization of attribute backing files, and enabling and
|
|
disabling of specific extended attributes on a file system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first argument on the command line indicates the operation to be
|
|
performed.
|
|
Operation must be one of the following:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm start Ar path
|
|
Start extended attribute support on the file system named using
|
|
.Ar path .
|
|
The file system must be an UFS1 file system, and the UFS_EXTATTR kernel
|
|
option must have been enabled.
|
|
.It Cm stop Ar path
|
|
Stop extended attribute support on the file system named using
|
|
.Ar path .
|
|
Extended attribute support must previously have been started.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Cm initattr
|
|
.Op Fl f
|
|
.Op Fl p Ar path
|
|
.Ar attrsize attrfile
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Create and initialize a file to use as an attribute backing file.
|
|
You must specify a maximum per-inode size for the attribute in bytes in
|
|
.Ar attrsize ,
|
|
as well as the file where the attribute will be stored, using
|
|
.Ar attrfile .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
argument may be used to indicate that it is alright to overwrite an
|
|
existing attribute backing file; otherwise, if the target file exists,
|
|
an error will be returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl p Ar path
|
|
argument may be used to preallocate space for all attributes rather than
|
|
relying on sparse files to conserve space.
|
|
This has the advantage of guaranteeing that space will be available
|
|
for attributes when they are written, preventing low disk space conditions
|
|
from denying attribute service.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This file should not exist before running
|
|
.Cm initattr .
|
|
.It Cm showattr Ar attrfile
|
|
Show the attribute header values in the attribute file named by
|
|
.Ar attrfile .
|
|
.It Cm enable Ar path attrnamespace attrname attrfile
|
|
Enable an attribute named
|
|
.Ar attrname
|
|
in the namespace
|
|
.Ar attrnamespace
|
|
on the file system identified using
|
|
.Ar path ,
|
|
and backed by initialized attribute file
|
|
.Ar attrfile .
|
|
Available namespaces are "user" and "system".
|
|
The backing file must have been initialized using
|
|
.Cm initattr
|
|
before its first use.
|
|
Attributes must have been started on the file system prior to the
|
|
enabling of any attributes.
|
|
.It Cm disable Ar path attrnamespace attrname
|
|
Disable the attributed named
|
|
.Ar attrname
|
|
in namespace
|
|
.Ar attrnamespace
|
|
on the file system identified by
|
|
.Ar path .
|
|
Available namespaces are "user" and "system".
|
|
The file system must have attributes started on it, and the attribute
|
|
most have been enabled using
|
|
.Cm enable .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
.Dl extattrctl start /
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Start extended attributes on the root file system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl extattrctl initattr 17 /.attribute/system/md5
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Create an attribute backing file in /.attribute/system/md5, and set the maximum
|
|
size of each attribute to 17 bytes, with a sparse file used for storing
|
|
the attributes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl extattrctl enable / system md5 /.attribute/system/md5
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Enable an attribute named md5 on the root file system, backed from the file
|
|
/.attribute/system/md5.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl extattrctl disable / md5
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Disable the attribute named md5 on the root file system.

.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.
