cdxar(1)cdxar(1)NAMEcdxar - Read the Extended Attribute Record from a CD-ROM
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/cdxar [-s number] [-b] file
OPTIONS
Specifies the File Section for which the XAR is to be read. The num‐
bering starts with one and number can be any whole number. If this
option is not used, the last file section of the named file is assumed.
Copies the entire XAR from a CD-ROM in binary format to standard out‐
put. Names a file or directory within the CD-ROM file hierarchy of a
mounted CD-ROM File System.
DESCRIPTION
The cdxar command accesses the Extended Attribute Record (XAR) associ‐
ated with the File Section of a file or directory and lists its con‐
tents on standard output.
The output is formatted in a table that contains the name of each field
of the XAR and the corresponding contents of the entry as recorded on
the CD-ROM. Note that the Application Use Field and the Escape
Sequences are not listed because they may contain non-printable charac‐
ters.
If the command is used without the -b option, only the fixed part of
the XAR is copied from the CD-ROM.
Users must have read permission for file in order to execute the com‐
mand.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: The command was successful.
The named file was not found, or was not within the CD-ROM hierarchy,
or access permission was denied. The File Section indicated by -s does
not exist. The File Section indicated by -s has no XAR. The File Sec‐
tion indicated by -s is not on the mounted CD-ROM.
