--.TH ATTR 5
--.SH NAME
--attr - Extended attributes
--.SH DESCRIPTION
--Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated permanently with
--files and directories, similar to the environment strings associated
--with a process.
--An attribute may be defined or undefined.
--If it is defined, its value may be empty or non-empty.
--.PP
--Extended attributes are extensions to the normal attributes which are
--associated with all inodes in the system (i.e. the
--.BR stat (2)
--data).
--They are often used to provide additional functionality
--to a filesystem \- for example, additional security features such as
--Access Control Lists (ACLs) may be implemented using extended attributes.
--.PP
--Users with search access to a file or directory may retrieve a list of
--attribute names defined for that file or directory.
--.PP
--Extended attributes are accessed as atomic objects.
--Reading retrieves the whole value of an attribute and stores it in a buffer.
--Writing replaces any previous value with the new value.
--.PP
--Space consumed for extended attributes is counted towards the disk quotas
--of the file owner and file group.
--.PP
--Currently, support for extended attributes is implemented on Linux by the
--ext2, ext3, ext4, XFS, JFS and reiserfs filesystems.
--.SH EXTENDED ATTRIBUTE NAMESPACES
--Attribute names are zero-terminated strings.
--The attribute name is always specified in the fully qualified
--.IR namespace.attribute
--form, eg.
--.IR user.mime_type ,
--.IR trusted.md5sum ,
--.IR system.posix_acl_access ,
--or
--.IR security.selinux .
--.PP
--The namespace mechanism is used to define different classes of extended
--attributes.
--These different classes exist for several reasons, e.g. the permissions
--and capabilities required for manipulating extended attributes of one
--namespace may differ to another.
--.PP
--Currently the
--.IR security ,
--.IR system ,
--.IR trusted ,
--and
--.IR user
--extended attribute classes are defined as described below. Additional
--classes may be added in the future.
--.SS Extended security attributes
--The security attribute namespace is used by kernel security modules,
--such as Security Enhanced Linux.
--Read and write access permissions to security attributes depend on the
--policy implemented for each security attribute by the security module.
--When no security module is loaded, all processes have read access to
--extended security attributes, and write access is limited to processes
--that have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.
--.SS Extended system attributes
--Extended system attributes are used by the kernel to store system
--objects such as Access Control Lists and Capabilities. Read and write
--access permissions to system attributes depend on the policy implemented
--for each system attribute implemented by filesystems in the kernel.
--.SS Trusted extended attributes
--Trusted extended attributes are visible and accessible only to processes that
--have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (the super user usually has this
--capability).
--Attributes in this class are used to implement mechanisms in user
--space (i.e., outside the kernel) which keep information in extended attributes
--to which ordinary processes should not have access.
--.SS Extended user attributes
--Extended user attributes may be assigned to files and directories for
--storing arbitrary additional information such as the mime type,
--character set or encoding of a file. The access permissions for user
--attributes are defined by the file permission bits.
--.PP
--The file permission bits of regular files and directories are
--interpreted differently from the file permission bits of special files
--and symbolic links. For regular files and directories the file
--permission bits define access to the file's contents, while for device special
--files they define access to the device described by the special file.
--The file permissions of symbolic links are not used in access
--checks. These differences would allow users to consume filesystem resources in
--a way not controllable by disk quotas for group or world writable special files and directories.
--.PP
--For this reason, extended user attributes are only allowed for regular files and directories, and access to extended user attributes is restricted to the
--owner and to users with appropriate capabilities for directories with the
--sticky bit set (see the
--.BR chmod (1)
--manual page for an explanation of Sticky Directories).
--.SH FILESYSTEM DIFFERENCES
--The kernel and the filesystem may place limits on the maximum number
--and size of extended attributes that can be associated with a file.
--Some file systems, such as ext2/3 and reiserfs, require the filesystem
--to be mounted with the
--.B user_xattr
--mount option in order for extended user attributes to be used.
--.PP
--In the current ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystem implementations, each
--extended attribute must fit on a single filesystem block (1024, 2048
--or 4096 bytes, depending on the block size specified when the
--filesystem was created).
--.PP
--In the XFS and reiserfs filesystem implementations, there is no
--practical limit on the number or size of extended attributes
--associated with a file, and the algorithms used to store extended
--attribute information on disk are scalable.
--.PP
--In the JFS filesystem implementation, names can be up to 255 bytes and
--values up to 65,535 bytes.
--.SH ADDITIONAL NOTES
--Since the filesystems on which extended attributes are stored might also
--be used on architectures with a different byte order and machine word
--size, care should be taken to store attribute values in an architecture
--independent format.
