File::ExtAttr::Tie(3) User Contributed Perl DocumentationFile::ExtAttr::Tie(3)NAMEFile::ExtAttr::Tie - Tie interface to extended attributes of files
SYNOPSIS
use File::ExtAttr::Tie;
use Data::Dumper;
tie %a,
"File::ExtAttr::Tie", "/Applications (Mac OS 9)/Sherlock 2",
{ namespace => 'user' };
print Dumper \%a;
produces:
$VAR1 = {
'com.apple.FinderInfo' => 'APPLfndf!?',
'com.apple.ResourceFork' => '?p?p5I'
};
DESCRIPTIONFile::ExtAttr::Tie provides access to extended attributes of a file
through a tied hash. Creating a new key creates a new extended
attribute associated with the file. Modifying the value or removing a
key likewise modifies/removes the extended attribute.
Internally this module uses the File::ExtAttr module. So it has the
same restrictions as that module in terms of OS support.
METHODS
tie "File::ExtAttr::Tie", $filename, [\%flags]
The flags are the same optional flags as in File::ExtAttr. Any
flags given here will be passed to all operations on the tied hash.
Only the "namespace" flag makes sense. The hash will be tied to the
default namespace, if no flags are given.
