lsattr: Display attributes of directories in the current directory.
$ lsattr -d
try on your machine
The command "lsattr -d" is used to display the attributes of a directory in Linux.
Here is the breakdown:
- "lsattr" is a command used to list the attributes of files or directories in Linux. It stands for "list attribute."
- "-d" is an option or flag that is used to specify that we want to display the attributes of a directory. By default, lsattr only shows the attributes of files.
When you run the "lsattr -d" command followed by a directory name, it will output the attributes assigned to that directory, if any. Attributes can include things like "immutable" (which prevents any modification to the directory or its contents), "append-only" (which only allows new files to be added but not modified or deleted), or "noaccesstime" (which prevents access time updates on files within the directory), among others.
Note that to use the "lsattr" command, you need to have the necessary permissions to view the attributes of the directory.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
