3.5. Using the lsattr command

After configuring all the devices in the system, you can use the lsattr command to display information about the attributes of a given device or kind of device. If you do not specify the device’s logical name (-l Name), you must use a combination of one or all of the -c Class, -s Subclass, and -t Type flags to uniquely identify the predefined device. The general syntax of the lsattr command is as follows:

lsattr { -D [ -O ] | -E [ -O ] | -F Format } -l Name [ -a Attribute ] ...
[ -f File ] [ -h ] [ -H ]
lsattr  { -D [ -O ] | -F Format } { [ -c Class ] [ -s Subclass ] [ -t Type ] }
[ -a Attribute ] ... [ -f File ] [ -h ] [ -H ]
lsattr -R { -l Name | [ -c Class ] [ -s Subclass ] [ -t Type ] } -a Attribute
[ -f File ...
