itemFilterAttr is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command creates a named itemFilterAttr object. This object
can be attached to editors, in order to filter the attributes
going through them.
Using union and intersection filters, complex composite filters can
be created.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

The filter will only pass items whose names match the given regular
expression string. This string can contain the special
characters * and ?. '?' matches any one character, and '*'
matches any substring.

The filter will only pass items whose names match the given string.
This is a multi-use flag which allows the user to specify several strings.

|
-byScript(-bs)
|
string

|
The filter will run a MEL script named by the given string on each
attribute name. Attributes will pass the filter if the script
returns a non-zero value.
The script name string must be the name of a proc whose signature
is:
global proc int procName( string $nodeName string $attrName )
This flag cannot be used in conjunction with the -byName or -byNameString flags.

-classification(-cls)
|
string
|
|
|
Indicates whether the filter is a built-in or user filter.

instead.
Filters created by Maya should be classified as "builtIn".
Filters created by plugins or user scripts should be classified
as "user".

be hidden from the UI (ex: Attribute Editor, Hypergraph etc) and
will not be accessible from the command-line.
