Getattr is returning file attributes, so it's going to be called as part of any browsing (ls, depending on options) or scanning (find, du, or perhaps RobinHood) of the file system. Also, many libraries will do getattr calls before doing an open, as part of sanity checking a file.

Under what scenarios, is getattr called. Thanks and Regards, Prakrati
