xattr_get
XATTR_GET(3) 1 XATTR_GET(3)
xattr_get - Get an extended attribute
SYNOPSIS
string xattr_get (string $filename, string $name, [int $flags])
DESCRIPTION
This function gets the value of an extended attribute of a file.
Extended attributes have two different namespaces: user and root. The user namespace is available to all users, while the root namespace is
available only to users with root privileges. xattr operates on the user namespace by default, but this can be changed with the $flags
parameter.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- The file from which we get the attribute.
o $name
- The name of the attribute.
o $flags
-
Supported xattr flags
+-----------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| | |
|XATTR_DONTFOLLOW | |
| | |
| | Do not follow the symbolic link but operate on |
| | symbolic link itself. |
| | |
| | |
| XATTR_ROOT | |
| | |
| | Set attribute in root (trusted) namespace. |
| | Requires root privileges. |
| | |
+-----------------+---------------------------------------------------+
RETURN VALUES
Returns a string containing the value or FALSE if the attribute doesn't exist.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Checks if system administrator has signed the file
<?php
$file = '/usr/local/sbin/some_binary';
$signature = xattr_get($file, 'Root signature', XATTR_ROOT);
/* ... check if $signature is valid ... */
?>
