       cdxar - Read the Extended Attribute Record from a CD-ROM

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/bin/cdxar [-s number] [-b] file

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Specifies  the  File  Section  for  which the XAR is to be
       read.  The numbering 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 output.
       Names a file or directory within the CD-ROM file hierarchy
       of a mounted CD-ROM File System.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  cdxar  command accesses the Extended Attribute Record
       (XAR) associated with the File Section of a file or directory
 and lists its contents 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 characters.

       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 command.

EXIT STATUS    [Toc]    [Back]

       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
       Section indicated by -s is not on the mounted CD-ROM.
