This will allow to make individual files as worm/retained by setting the volume option "worm-file-level". The files which are created when this option is enabled will have an xattr called "trusted.worm_file". This is implemented because unlike read-only or volume level worm where if the option on the volume is disabled, the entire translator will get disabled and you can perform any FOP on the files in that volume. But here if a file is once marked as worm-retained, it should not revert back to the normal state where we can change its contents even if the worm-file-level option is reset/disabled. So the xattr is set on the file and every time when a write, link, unlink, rename, or truncate fop comes it checks for the xattr. Hope it helps.
