xattr

What does the dot at the end of the permissions in the output of “ls -lah” mean? [closed]

September 19, 2023 by Tarik

From info coreutils ‘ls invocation’ | grep -1 ‘[.+]. character’ under Linux GNU `ls’ uses a `.’ character to indicate a file with an SELinux security context, but no other alternate access method. A file with any other combination of alternate access methods is marked with a `+’ character.
