fatattr - Display or change attributes on a FAT filesystem
fatattr [+-rhsvda67] files...
fatattr displays or changes
attributes on an MS-DOS FAT filesystem. If only a list of diles (or directories)
are given, it displays the attributes for those files or directories. If
given a list of attributes, it will add (+) or remove (-) the specified
attributes from the given list of files or directories.
The attributes are:
- r
- File or directory is readonly.
- h
- File or directory is hidden.
- s
- File or
directory is used by the system in a nonstandard way. Standard defragmentation
software will avoid this file. Microsoft operating systems will treat any
file or directory with the system attribute as hidden, even if the hidden
bit is not set.
- v
- Entry is a volume label. This bit cannot be changed.
- d
- Entry is a directory. This bit cannot be changed.
- a
- File has been changed.
This bit is set any time a file (but not a directory) is changed, and
is typically cleared by backup software.
- 6, 7
- Unused attributes, set to
zero when the file is created and otherwise unchanged.
Requires Linux
kernel version 2.6.11 or later.
