26.9. Editing XFS File Attributes

On Linux and IRIX xfs filesystems, files have totally different kinds of attributes. Every file or directory can have an unlimited number, each of which is simply a mapping between a text name and value. Normally, the attr command is used for editing attributes, but the file manager can be used as well by following these steps:

1.
Select the file that you want to modify in the right-hand pane, and click the Attrs button on the toolbar. This will bring up a window listing existing attributes, unless the filesystem on which the file is located does not support them.

2.
To create a new attribute, click the Add Attribute button at the bottom of the window. This will open another window for entering its name and value that can contain several lines.

3.
Click the Save button in the new attribute window to add it to the list.

4.
To edit any existing attribute, just double-click on it. This will bring up a window like the one used for creating a new attribute but with an additional Delete button.

5.
When you are done creating and editing attributes for the file, click the Save button below the list. Only then will they actually be applied to the file on the server.

Attributes are generally used for storing metadata about files, such as a description, character set, or icon. See the manual page for the attr command for more information on what attributes can be used for.
