number of custom (user-defined) metadata attributes to any file or directory stored on an IBRIX
retention-enabled file system where the Express Query metadata store is enabled. Each custom
attribute consists of an attribute name and assigned value. The API provides commands to
create custom metadata entries for a file, replace values of existing entries, and delete entries.
The API extends the existing HTTP Shares feature that was introduced in IBRIX version 6.0.
