       NAME
             cdxar - read CD-ROM Extended Attribute Record (XAR)

       SYNOPSIS
             cdxar [-s number] [-b] file

       DESCRIPTION
             cdxar displays the Extended Attribute Record (XAR) associated
             with a File Section of a file or directory.  The output is a
             table that lists each field in the XAR and its contents.  If
             the -b option is not used, the Application Use field and the
             Escape Sequences field are not listed because they may contain
             non-printable characters.

            file   File or directory in the CD-ROM file system.

            -s number
                    Specifies the File Section for which the XAR shall be
                    read.  The numbering starts with one.  If this option
                    is omitted, the last File Section of that file is
                    assumed.

            -b     Displays the XAR in binary format, including the
                    Application Use Field and the Escape Sequences field.

          Environment Variables
             IF LC_TIME (which determines the format and contents of the
             date and time strings) is not set or is set to the empty
             string, then cdxar uses the value of LANG.  If LANG is not
             set, or is set to the empty string, cdxar uses the value from
             the implementation-specific default locale.  If both LC_TIME
             and LANG contain invalid settings, cdxar behaves as if all of
             the variables are undefined.

          Exit Codes
             0     Successful completion

             1     file not found, file is not a file or directory in the
                   CD-ROM file system, or access permission is denied.
