# CREATOR / xattr automated test

This replaces the old FILER/manual creator-xattr test with a direct test using
`PUBLIC\CREATOR.EXE`.

## Requirements

`PUBLIC\CREATOR.EXE` from the new dosutils tree must be installed.

## DOS flow

Run as `SUPERVISOR`:

```text
CIXSTA
```

Then run the Linux-side collector:

```sh
sudo ./cix_collect_xattr.sh
```

Then package in DOS:

```text
CIXZIP
```

Result ZIP:

```text
F:\CIXCMP\CIXSTA.ZIP
```

Linux package with server log:

```sh
sudo ./mars_packtest_v3.sh cixsta 5 mario
```

## Test directories

```text
F:\CIXTEST
F:\CIXCMP
```

## What CIXSTA does

```text
S_SUP.TXT:
  PUBLIC\CREATOR ... /CREATOR MARIO
  PUBLIC\CREATOR ... /MODIFIER MARIO
  Expected xattr: user.mars_nwe.fileinfo

S_ARCH.TXT:
  PUBLIC\CREATOR ... /ARCHIVE MARIO
  Expected xattr: user.mars_nwe.archive

S_ALL.TXT:
  PUBLIC\CREATOR ... /ALL MARIO 2026-05-25 16:12:00
  Expected xattrs: user.mars_nwe.fileinfo and user.mars_nwe.archive
```
