## Synopsis

    MagickPassFail CloneImageAttributes( Image *clone_image,
                                         const Image *original_image );

# SetImageAttribute

## Synopsis

If the attribute exists in the list, the value is concatenated to the attribute. SetImageAttribute returns True if the attribute is successfully concatenated or added to the list, otherwise False. If the value is NULL, the matching key is deleted from the list.

The format of the SetImageAttribute method is:
