ls* Commands Are Even More Useful Than You May Have Thought
Everything
is a file under Linux and ls* and friends can help you to dig out more
information from the system than you originally thought. These Linux
tips may come in handy when you need to find out information quickly
without going through /proc or sysfs.

------------------- /etc/passwd
Use chattr command to write protect files under Linux operating system:
# echo 'Test' > foobar
# chattr +i foobar
# lsattr foobar Sample outputs:
----i-------------- foobar
Try to remove (delete) foobar as root user:
# rm foobar Sample outputs:
rm: cannot remove `foobar': Operation not permitted
Remove
IMMUTABLE capability i.e. file cannot be modified: it cannot be deleted
or renamed, no link can be created to this file and no data can be
written to the file:
# chattr -i foobar

of if a given driver (such as RAID device driver) included in initramfs
images or not:
lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) # See initramfs content of current running Linux kernel
lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) | grep 'dm-' # Find out if transparent encryption / decryption driver included or not
