xattr is a Python wrapper for Darwin, Linux, and FreeBSD extended filesystem attributes. Extended attributes extend the basic attributes of files and directories in the file system. They are stored as name:data pairs associated with file system objects (files, directories, symlinks, etc). Extended attributes are available on Darwin 8.0 and later. This corresponds to Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and later.
