The xattr command has been around in Mac OS and Mac OS X for a long time and thus this should work the same on virtually all vaguely modern versions of system software: How to View Extended Attributes of a File in Mac OS If you’re not sure what extended attributes are, why they may (or may not) matter, or why you might want to (or not want to) remove them, this is not for you. This is an advanced topic that is really only relevant to advanced users who are already familiar with extended attributes and have a particular reason to want to remove them from a file. This tutorial will walk through how to both view and remove extended attributes from a file on a Mac.
Sometimes, advanced Mac users may review extended attributes for a file, or even wish to remove extended attributes from a file or directory for a variety of reasons, and either of those tasks can be accomplished through the command line with the bundled xattr tool in Mac OS.
