+These attributes are distinct from the file attributes in the filesystem and are
+only kept in memory during package builds. A single file may have an arbitrary
+number of attributes, and a single attribute may be assigned to an arbitrary
+number of files.
+
+A valid file attribute called _NAME_ is introduced with an *rpm-macrofile*(5),
+_NAME.attr_, dropped into the *%{\_fileattrsdir}* directory, that defines at
+least one of the following macros:
+
+```
+%__NAME_path
+%__NAME_magic
+%__NAME_exclude_path
+%__NAME_exclude_magic

Hmm. Another way to describe all these macros that would be more consistent with eg. rpm-config(5) :

```
*%\_\_*_NAME_*\_path* _REGEX_
        Matched against the packaged path, that is, without the
        *%buildroot* prefix (for  example, _/bin/bash_).

*%\_\_*_NAME_*\_magic* _REGEX_
        _REGEX_ matched against the result of *magic*(5).
```

(the descriptions are just terse placeholders, pay no attention :smile: )
