About attr tools:
A rewrite of some of the *attr commands to show more friendly info about the attribute types and to show which of a files attributes belong to the files mime type.

I once used BeOS to categorise my digital photo collection by adding three simple attributes to a new mime type. These attributes were "who, where, and when" - two string attributes and a time attribute.
Three years later and I need to get the date and time information from 300 photos. The information was there in Tracker but from the Terminal catattr would just show me raw information.

Previously I had worked on an editor of attributes called AttributeEdit that was aware of which attributes that a file had belonged to its mime type and which were extra attributes. So I wrote a new version of catattr that would show me the time information and a version of listattr that showed a friendly name for certain attribute types rather than just the hexcode. It also showed whether an attribute was part of the files mime type or was part of BeOS, tracker, or was foreign.
