lsattr

Sure, the lsattr command is a Linux command that can be used to list the attributes of files and directories. It is a simple command to use, but it can be very effective.

Here are some examples of how to use the lsattr command:

To list the attributes of the file file.txt: lsattr file.txt

To list the attributes of all of the files in the current directory recursively: lsattr -R

To list all of the attributes of the file file.txt, including those that are not normally displayed: lsattr -a file.txt

To list the attributes of the file file.txt in a human-readable format: lsattr -h file.txt
