xattr is a Python wrapper for extended filesystem attributes.

xattr also ships with an `xattr` command line tool for viewing and
editing extended filesystem attributes. On platforms that support or
ship with the attr package, you may prefer to use the `getfattr`
and `setfattr` command line tools from the attr package.

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).
