+Help: Store metadata in extended file attributes
+---
+When saving output to a file, this option tells curl to store certain file
+metadata in extended file attributes. Currently, the URL is stored in the
+xdg.origin.url attribute and, for HTTP, the content type is stored in
+the mime_type attribute. If the file system does not support extended
+attributes, a warning is issued.
