NAME
    setfattr - set extended attributes of filesystem objects

SYNOPSIS
    setfattr [-h] -n name [-v value] pathname...
    setfattr [-h] -x name pathname...
    setfattr [-h] --restore=file

DESCRIPTION
    The setfattr command associates a new value with an extended attribute
    name for each specified file.

 OPTIONS
    -n name, --name=name
   Specifies the name of the extended attribute to set.

    -v value, --value=value
   Specifies the new value for the extended attribute.

    -x name, --remove=name
   Remove the named extended attribute entirely.

    -h, --no-dereference
   Do not follow symlinks. If pathname is a symbolic link, it is not
   followed, but is instead itself the inode being modified.

    --restore=file
   Restores extended attributes from file. The file must be in the
   format generated by the getfattr command with the --dump option.
   If a dash (-) is given as the file name, setfattr reads from stan-
   dard input.

    --version
   Print the version of setfattr and exit.

    --help
   Print help explaining the command line options.

    -- End of command line options.  All remaining parameters are inter-
   preted as file names, even if they start with a dash character.
