xattr is not needed, it’s functionality is part of the standard ls command and

ls -l@ <file> will show the extended attributes.
$ ls -lnd@ bin
drwxr-xr-x@ 62 501 20 2108 Jul 21 23:30 bin
com.apple.FinderInfo 32
~/ $ ls -lnd@ bin/sixsyn
-rwx------@ 1 501 20 1441 Jul 31 22:01 bin/sixsyn
com.apple.FinderInfo 32
com.apple.TextEncoding 15
Similarly, for files with a ‘+’ you can use the -e flag:
