+.SS "File attributes for created files: `fattr'"
+Both the
+.B file
+and
+.B socket
+sources and targets can create new filesystem objects. The
+.B fattr
+options allow control over the attributes of the newly-created objects.
+Both
+.B file
+and
+.B socket
+use the same set of defaults, so a prefix of
+.B fattr
+is good enough for setting global options, and the implicit context
+disambiguates local options.
+.PP
+The following file attribute options are supported:
+.OS "File attribute options (`fattr')"
+.IB prefix .fattr.mode
+.RB [ = ]
+.I mode
+.OD
+Sets the permissions mode for a new file. The
+.I mode
+argument may be either an octal number or a
+.BR chmod (1)-style
+string which acts on the default permissions established by the
+prevailing
+.BR umask (2)
+setting. The characters
+.RB ` = '
+and
+.RB ` , '
+do not have to be quoted within the mode string.
+.OE
+.OS "File attribute options (`fattr')"
+.IB prefix .fattr.owner
+.RB [ = ]
+.I user
+.OD
+Sets the owner for newly created files. On non-broken systems you will
+need to be the superuser to set the owner on a file. The
+.I user
+may either be a numeric uid or a username. The default is not to change
+the owner of the file once it's created. The synonyms
+.B uid
+and
+.B user
+are accepted in place of
+.BR owner .
+.OE
+.OS "File attribute options (`fattr')"
+.IB prefix .fattr.group
+.RB [ = ]
+.I group
+.OD
+Sets the group for newly created files. You will usually need to be a
+member of the group in question order to set the group of a file. The
+.I group
+may either be a numeric gid or a group name. The default is not to
+change the group of the file once it's created. The synonym
+.B gid
+is accepted in place of
+.BR group .
