-n
name, --name
=name
Dump the value of the named extended attribute.
-d
, --dump
Dump the values of all matched extended attributes.
-e
en, --encoding
=en
Encode values after retrieving them. Valid values of en are
"text", "hex", and "base64". Values encoded as text strings
are enclosed in double quotes ("), while strings encoded as
hexadecimal and base64 are prefixed with 0x and 0s,
respectively.
-h
, --no-dereference
Do not dereference symlinks. Instead of the file a symlink
refers to, the symlink itself is examined. Unless doing a
logical (-L) traversal, do not traverse symlinks to
directories.
-m
pattern, --match
=pattern
Only include attributes with names matching the regular
expression pattern. The default value for pattern is
"^user\\.", which includes all the attributes in the user
namespace. Specify "-" for including all attributes. Refer
to attr
(5) for a more detailed discussion of namespaces.
--absolute-names
Do not strip leading slash characters ('/'). The default
behaviour is to strip leading slash characters.
--only-values
Dump out the raw extended attribute value(s) without encoding
them.
-R
, --recursive
List the attributes of all files and directories recursively.
-L
, --logical
Logical walk, follow symbolic links to directories. The
default behaviour is to follow symbolic link arguments unless
--no-dereference is given, and to skip symbolic links
encountered in subdirectories. Only effective in combination
with -R.
-P
, --physical
Physical walk, do not follow symbolic links to directories.
This also skips symbolic link arguments. Only effective in
combination with -R.
--version
Print the version of getfattr
and exit.
--help
Print help explaining the command line options.
--
End of command line options. All remaining parameters are
interpreted as file names, even if they start with a dash
character.
