ffi-xattr

Ruby library to manage extended file attributes.

Example

  xattr = Xattr.new("/path/to/file")
  xattr['user.foo'] = 'bar'

  xattr['user.foo'] #=> 'bar'
  xattr.list        #=> ["user.foo"]

  xattr.each { |key, value| ... }
  xattr.as_json     #=> {"user.foo" => "bar"}

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.
  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
