.Sh SYNOPSIS

.Nm

.Ar attrnamespace
|
|
.Ar attrname
|
|
.Ar filename
|

.Ar attrvalue
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a user tool to set a named extended attribute on a file or directory to
|
|
the provided string.
|
|
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,
|
|
.Ar filename
|
|
the name of the file or directory to set the attribute for, and
|
|
.Ar attrvalue
|
|
a string to store in the attribute.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will store the string in the file's attribute.
|
|
In order for
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to succeed, the attribute service must be available on the file system,
|
|
and appropriate privilege may be required.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
.Dl # setextattr system md5 /boot/kernel/kernel `md5 -q /boot/kernel/kernel`
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Set the
|
|
.Dq md5
|
|
extended attribute on the file /boot/kernel/kernel to the string
|
|
containing the output of
|
|
.Dq md5 -q /boot/kernel/kernel .

It was developed to support security extensions requiring additional labels
|
|
to be associated with each file or directory.
