Documentation

Whether to use "file-attributes" connection property for check.

This is relevant for read, write, and execute permissions. On some file systems using NFS4_ACL, the permission string as returned from stat or ls, is not sufficient to provide more fine-grained information. This variable is intended as connection-local variable.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 30.1.
