Marco Bonelli f79f6011e0 Refactor: add missing or_directory where needed.
This commit adds the missing `_or_directory` to any example which is
specifying an action affecting a file or a directory, but uses the
token `{{path/to/file}}` instead of `{{path/to/file_or_directory}}`.

chattr

Change attributes of files or folders.

  • Make a file or directory immutable to changes and deletion, even by superuser:

chattr +i {{path/to/file_or_directory}}

  • Make a file or directory mutable:

chattr -i {{path/to/file_or_directory}}

  • Recursively make an entire folder and contents immutable:

chattr -R +i {{folder}}
