Most self-respecting file systems on Linux have extended attributes these days (at least for a value of "ext4" for "self-respecting", that is; for the others, consult the file system's man page ;-) You need the program "attr" for that, present in the Debian package "attr" (not installed by default). Sample session: # create a file to play with: tomas@trotzki:~$ touch mumpf # set mumpf's 'color' attribute to the value 'red' tomas@trotzki:~$ attr -s color -V red mumpf Attribute "color" set to a 3 byte value for mumpf: red # list mumpf's attributes: tomas@trotzki:~$ attr -l mumpf Attribute "color" has a 3 byte value for mumpf # get mumpf's 'color' attribute's value: tomas@trotzki:~$ attr -g color mumpf Attribute "color" had a 3 byte value for mumpf: red Is that what you were looking for?
