6.25.2. Contents of Attr
Installed programs:
attr, getfattr, and setattr
Installed library:
libattr.so
Installed directories:
/usr/include/attr and
/usr/share/doc/attr-2.4.48
The attr package contains utilities to administer the extended attributes on filesystem objects.
Prepare Attr for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --disable-static \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/attr-2.4.48
Compile the package:
make
The tests need to be run on a filesystem that supports extended attributes such as the ext2, ext3, or ext4 filesystems. To test the results, issue:
make check
Install the package:
make install
The shared library needs to be moved to /lib
, and as a result the .so
file in /usr/lib
will need to be recreated:
mv -v /usr/lib/libattr.so.* /lib ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /usr/lib/libattr.so) /usr/lib/libattr.so
