can't display extended file attributes on mac

If I have the following output for a ls -l command on mac :

 total 0 
 -rw-rw-r--@ 1 <redicated>  <redicated> 0 Mar 23 15:54 filename

In the man page I read that ls -@ displays the extended attribute keys. But for ls -@ just the filename is printed to the terminal. For ls -@ filname I get ls: filename: No such file or directory

Solution

  • You need to list the files an entry per line. Like:

    ls -l@
