lsattr: List the attributes of files in a particular path.
$ lsattr ${path}
try on your machine
The command "lsattr ${path}" is used to list the attributes of a file or directory specified by the path variable.
Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:
- "lsattr": This is a command in Linux and Unix-like operating systems used to list the attributes of a file or directory.
- "${path}": This is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual path of the file or directory for which you want to list the attributes. The path can be relative to the current directory or an absolute path.
When you run this command, it will display a list of attributes associated with the specified file or directory. These attributes can include information like whether the file is read-only, whether it can be modified or deleted, whether it's hidden or encrypted, or any other special permissions or properties assigned to that file or directory.
Note that to run this command successfully, you need the necessary permissions to access the file or directory in question.
