DESCRIPTION

The format of a symbolic mode is +-=[csu].
The operator `+' causes the selected attributes to be added to the
existing attributes of the files; `-' causes them to be removed; and
`=' causes them to be the only attributes that the files have.
The letters `csu' select the new attributes for the files: compressed (r),
secure deletion (s), and undeletable (u).

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
As of ext2 fs 0.4, the kernel code only honours the `s' attribute. When
a file with the `s' attribute set is deleted, its blocks are zeroed and
written back to the disk.
The other attributes will be implemented in a next ext2 fs version.
AVAILABILITY
chattr
is available for anonymous ftp from ftp.ibp.fr (132.227.60.2) in
/pub/linux/BETA/ext2fs.
