File-ExtAttr version 1.09
=========================
File::ExtAttr is a Perl module providing access to the extended attributes
of files.
Extended attributes are metadata associated with a file.
Examples are access control lists (ACLs) and other security parameters.
But users can add their own key=value pairs.
Extended attributes may not be supported by your operating system.
This module is aimed at Linux, Unix or Unix-like operating systems
(e.g.: Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD).
Extended attributes may also not be supported by your filesystem
or require special options to be enabled for a particular filesystem
(e.g. "mount -o user_xattr /dev/hda1 /some/path").
Please see the POD documentation for more detailed information
("perldoc File::ExtAttr").
INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Installation requires a C compiler.
"make test" will fail if the filesystem you are building and running
the test suite does not support extended attributes. You can use
the "ATTR_TEST_DIR" environment variable to make the test suite
use a different file system, e.g.:
mkdir -p /path/to/somewhere/with/extattr/test-dir
export ATTR_TEST_DIR=/path/to/somewhere/with/extattr/test-dir
make test
DEPENDENCIES
On Linux, you will need to install the package that provides
the <sys/xattr.h> header file. On Fedora you can install
these as follows:
dnf -y install glibc-headers
This module requires these other modules:
Carp
Scalar::Util
This module's test suite is enhanced by the presence of the following
modules:
Test::Distribution
Test::Pod
File::Find::Rule
Module::CoreList
