PHP - xattr remove() Function

xattr_remove() function can remove an extended attribute.

Syntax

bool xattr_remove( string $filename , string $name [, int $flags ] )

xattr_remove() function can remove an extended attribute of a file.

The extended attributes have two different namespaces: user and root. The user namespace can be available to all users, while a root namespace is available only to users with root privileges. xattr can operate on a user namespace by default, but we can change it by using the flags argument.

xattr_remove() function can return true on success or false on failure.

Example

<?php
   $file = "some_file";
   $attributes = xattr_list($file);

   foreach($attributes as $attr_name) {
      xattr_remove($file, $attr_name);
   }
?>
