xattr: Write an attribute for a given file.
$ xattr -w ${attribute_key} ${attribute_value} ${file}
try on your machine
The command "xattr -w ${attribute_key} ${attribute_value} ${file}" is used to set or write an extended attribute (xattr) on a specific file.
- "${attribute_key}" is the name of the attribute you want to set. It can be any string that uniquely identifies the attribute.
- "${attribute_value}" is the value you want to assign to the attribute. This can also be any string or data.
- "${file}" is the path to the file on which you want to set the attribute.
To use this command, replace "${attribute_key}" with the desired attribute name, "${attribute_value}" with the desired value, and "${file}" with the path to the file you want to set the attribute on.
For example, if you want to set an attribute named "version" with the value "1.0" on a file named "example.txt", the command would be: xattr -w version 1.0 example.txt
