Frequent Question: How Do You Display File Attributes in Unix?

How do I see file attributes in Linux?

You can list the attribute of the contents of a particular directory with lsattr command followed with a file or directory name as the argument. As the ls -l command, the -d option with lsattr will list the attributes of the directory itself instead of the files in that directory.
