what does the @ symbol mean in ls -l directory listing?
- by Andrew Arrow
When I run ls -l on my mac I see two .yml files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 aa staff 6 Apr 15 05:50 s1.yml
-rw-r--r--@ 1 aa staff 362 Apr 15 05:49 s3.yml
same owner, same permissions but one has a @ at the end of the permisions. The one with the @ shows up in my editor, the one without does not. So there must be some significance. How can I turn on the @ for the file without it? I selected the files in the finder and did get info and everything looks identical between the two files.
