# xattr_get

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

xattr_get -- Get an extended attribute

## Beschreibung

string xattr_get ( string filename, string name [, int flags] )

This function gets the value of an extended attribute of a file.

Extended attributes have two different namespaces: user and root namespace. User namespace is available for all users while root namespace is available only for user with root privileges. xattr operates on user namespace by default, but you can change that using flags argument.

## Parameter Liste

filename

  The file from which we get the attribute.

name

  The name of the attribute.

flags

  Tabelle 1. 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.

## Rückgabewerte

Returns a string containing the value or `FALSE` if the attribute doesn't exist.

## Beispiele

Beispiel 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 ... */ ?>`
