--- title: 'dav get-property' --- **`dav get-property [-pcx] [-n <uri>] <url> <property>`** Gets a specific resource property. Every WebDAV property has a name and an XML namespace. A namespace can be specified with the `-n` option or with a prefixed name. The prefix and property name are separated by a **:** as usual. If the **`-x`** option is specified, a valid xml document containing the value is printed on stdout. If the property contains xml data and the **`-x`** option is not specified, the value is printed on stderr in an xml-like format. Example: `D:creationdate` `D` is the prefix, `creationdate` is the name. There are only two available prefixes by default: 1. `D` for the `DAV:` namespace 2. `idav` for `http://davutils.org/` To use another namespace, use the `-n` option or configure a namespace in the [config.xml][1] file. If the property name has no prefix, and no namespace is specified, the default namespace `DAV:` is used. **`-p`** disable file name and path decryption if enabled **`-c`** enable file name and path decryption **`-x`** prints property as xml **`-n <uri>`** specify property namespace **Note:** Properties are never encrypted. ### Example: xml property $ dav get-property -x myserv/collection/ resourcetype <?xml version="1.0"?> <x0:resourcetype xmlns:x0="DAV:"><x0:collection /></x0:resourcetype> [1]: ./configuration.html
