# `--xattr`
When saving output to a file, tell curl to store file metadata in extended
file attributes. Currently, `curl` is stored in the `creator` attribute,
the URL is stored in the `xdg.origin.url` attribute and, for HTTP, the content
type is stored in the `mime_type` attribute. If the file system does not
support extended attributes, a warning is issued.
