# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on # the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make # exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to # leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| attr: attr (tools for using extended attributes on filesystems) attr: attr: This package contains a set of tools for manipulating extended attr: attributes (name:value pairs associated permanently with files and attr: directories) on filesystem objects, and the library and header files attr: needed to develop programs which make use of extended attributes. attr: Extended attributes are used to provide additional functionality to attr: a filesystem.
