$ eep attribute fromstring <content object id> <attribute identifier> <new value>

Calls ToString() on the content object data_map's attribute.

$ eep attribute tostring <content object id> <attribute identifier>

Directly sets one of the content class attribute fields (e.g. data_int, data_text1 etc.)

$ eep attribute setfield <class identifier> <attributename> <fieldname> <fieldvalue>

getfield

Directly gets one of the content class attribute fields (e.g. data_int, data_text1 etc.)

$ eep attribute getfield <class identifier> <attributename> <fieldname> <fieldvalue>

Directly sets one of the contentobject attributes (e.g. owner_id, published etc.)

$ eep attribute set <content object id> <attribute identifier> <attribute value>

$ eep attribute get <content object id> <attribute identifier> <attribute value>

Displays all content class attribute fields (e.g. data_int, data_text1 etc.)

$ eep attribute info <class identifier> <attributename> <fieldname>

createalias

Create a given alias manually for a given content object image attribute.

$ eep attribute createalias <content object id> <attribute identifier> <alias name>

contentobjectid

Returns the contentobject id from a contentobject attribute id.

eep attribute contentobjectid <content object _attribute_ id> [<version>]

Tip
Amongst other things this method can be used to find out which content object images in the /var/<yoursite>/storage/ folder belong to.
The image path contains folders in the following format:
<contentobject_id>-<contentobject_version>-<contentobject_language>
i.e. 23929-1-eng-CA for the 1st version of a content object for english (Canada)

Those IDs could be extracted via grep and then passed to eep attribute contentobjectid ... via xargs.
