Subject: [RFE] --reference option for setfattr
Date: Tue, 04 Nov 2008 10:50:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49101B02.60004@redhat.com> (raw)
Hello,
currently when I want to copy all extended attributes from one file to
another, I have to use ugly command like this:
getfattr --dump -m '-' /etc/samba/smb.conf |sed 's;file:
etc/samba/smb.conf;file: /tmp/smb.conf;'| setfattr --restore=-
Would you please implement --reference=some_file option that will read
all extended attributes set on some_file and set them on pathname?
The previous use case would then look like this:
setfattr --reference=/etc/samba/smb.conf /tmp/smb.conf
Other commands from file-attributes-manipulation familly already have
parameter like this (chmod, chown, chcon,...)
Thanks
Ales Zelinka
