💅 LEIL-GETEATTR(1) — your girl's guide to the leil-geteattr, leil-seteattr and leil-deleattr trio 🎀

okay bestie, so this page is all about the leil-geteattr, leil-seteattr and leil-deleattr commands. That's the LEIL-GETEATTR(1) man page you're looking at right now, and it's literally just three little icons whose whole job is handling extra attributes — getting them, setting them, and yeeting them into the void. Obsessed honestly. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

leil-geteattr, leil-seteattr, leil-deleattr — get, set or delete extra attributes. That's it, that's the whole vibe: get them, set them, delete them. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's how you actually call them, no cap, copy-paste ready:

leil geteattr [-r] [-n|-h|-H] OBJECT...

leil seteattr [-r] [-n|-h|-H] -f ATTRNAME [-f ATTRNAME ...] OBJECT...

leil deleattr [-r] [-n|-h|-H] -f ATTRNAME [-f ATTRNAME ...] OBJECT...

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So like, geteattr, seteattr and deleattr are the three tools you use when you want to get, set or delete some extra attributes. That's genuinely the whole plot 💀. The attributes themselves get described down below in EXTRA ATTRIBUTES, don't worry, we're getting there.

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -r — turns on recursive mode. yes queen, go deep, touch everything. ✨
  • -n, -h, -H — these three are described over in leil(1). Not our lore to explain, bestie, go read that page. 🙈

🎀 EXTRA ATTRIBUTES 🎀

okay this is the main character section, these are the actual attributes you can play with:

  • noowner — this flag means that a particular object belongs to the current user — like, the uid and gid are equal to the uid and gid values of the accessing process. Only root (uid=0) sees the real uid and gid. everybody else gets the cute little disguise. 🕵️‍♀️
  • noattrcache — this flag means that standard file attributes — stuff like uid, gid, mode, length and so on — won't be stored in kernel cache. no caching, no shortcuts, fresh every time. 💅
  • noentrycache — this one is similar to the one right above it (noattrcache, keep up bestie 🫶). It prevents directory entries from being cached in the kernel. same energy, different cache.

😭 REPORTING BUGS 😭

Found a bug? disrespectful but okay 🙄 — report it to the GitHub repository at https://github.com/leil-io/leilfs as an issue. That's the whole protocol. go off. 💀
