aide-attributes - decode and compare hex-encoded attribute numbers

aide-attributes HEX_NUMBER [HEX_NUMBER]

aide-attributes decodes hex-encoded attribute numbers to attribute names or displays the differences between two attribute numbers. The script is useful to decode the attribute numbers as shown in the 'Entry X in database has different attributes: OLD_HEX_NUMBER NEW_HEX_NUMBER' message.

Decode the hex number 'c3d' to attribute names:

$ aide-attributes c3d
filename
perm
uid
gid
size
bcount
lnkcount

Display the differences between two hex-encoded attribute numbers:

$ aide-attributes c3d fbd
+ctime
+mtime
+inode
