Purpose
Gets the following attributes of a file:
• Read-Only
• System
• Hidden
• Archive
The
read-only
attribute makes it impossible to write to the file or create a file with the same
name.
The
system
attribute and hidden attribute both prevent the file from appearing in a directory list
and exclude it from normal searches.
The
archive
attribute is set whenever you modify the file, and cleared by the DOS BACKUP
command.
