5 kx # HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
5 kx # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
5 kx # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
5 kx # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
5 kx # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
5 kx # customary to leave one space after the ':'.

5 kx attr: attr @VERSION@ (tools for using extended attributes on filesystems)
5 kx attr:
5 kx attr: This package contains a set of tools for manipulating extended
5 kx attr: attributes (name:value pairs associated permanently with files
5 kx attr: and directories) on filesystem objects, and the library and
5 kx attr: header files needed to develop programs which make use of extended
5 kx attr: attributes. Extended attributes are used to provide additional
5 kx attr: functionality to a filesystem. For example, Access Control Lists
5 kx attr: (ACLs) are implemented using extended attributes.
