From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I appreciate your help, but notice that the article just tell some basics of xattrs usage (I already know how to use it), but has no reference of file transfering files, which is what I need.
I suspect you use them more extensively, than I. Mine are limited usually to the extended acls, which I then use getfacl to generate a dump of all the acls of the files and sub directories I am transferring or 7zipping, and include that file in the transfer or 7z bundle. Then use setfacl to apply all those permissions on the receiving end after everything has been copied or extracted.
