RUNAT(1) General Commands Manual RUNAT(1) NAME runat -- run a shell command on a named attribute directory SYNOPSIS runat [file] [shell command] DESCRIPTION The runat utility runs the shell command on the named attribute directory for the file argument. It does a fchdir(2) system call to change the cur- rent working directory into the named attribute directory for the file ar- gument and then performs the shell command via sh(1). If a named attribute directory does not exist for file, an empty one will be created. If an application needs to determine if a named attribute ex- ists for the file, pathconf(2) with the name _PC_HAS_NAMEDATTR may be used. This will not create an empty named attribute directory if one does not ex- ist for file. EXAMPLES For a file called "myfile": $ runat myfile ls -l # lists the attributes for myfile $ runat myfile cp /etc/hosts attrhosts # creates attrhosts $ runat myfile cat attrhosts # displays contents of attrhosts SEE ALSO sh(1), fchdir(2), pathconf(2), open(2), named_attribute(7) HISTORY The runat utility first appeared in FreeBSD 15.0. FreeBSD 15.1 April 15, 2025 RUNAT(1)
