NAME

6       File::ExtAttr::Tie - Tie interface to extended attributes of files
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use File::ExtAttr::Tie;
10         use Data::Dumper;
11
12         tie %a,
13           "File::ExtAttr::Tie", "/Applications (Mac  OS 9)/Sherlock 2",
14           { namespace => 'user' };
15         print Dumper \%a;
16
17       produces:
18
19         $VAR1 = {
20                  'com.apple.FinderInfo' => 'APPLfndf!?',
21                  'com.apple.ResourceFork' => '?p?p5I'
22                 };
23

DESCRIPTION

25       File::ExtAttr::Tie provides access to extended attributes of a file
26       through a tied hash. Creating a new key creates a new extended
27       attribute associated with the file. Modifying the value or removing a
28       key likewise modifies/removes the extended attribute.
29
30       Internally this module uses the File::ExtAttr module. So it has the
31       same restrictions as that module in terms of OS support.
32

METHODS

34       tie "File::ExtAttr::Tie", $filename, [\%flags]
35           The flags are the same optional flags as in File::ExtAttr.  Any
36           flags given here will be passed to all operations on the tied hash.
37           Only the "namespace" flag makes sense. The hash will be tied to the
38           default namespace, if no flags are given.
