NAME
fatattr - Display or change attributes on a FAT filesystem
SYNOPSIS
fatattr [+-rhsvda67] files...
DESCRIPTION
fatattr displays or changes attributes on an MS-DOS FAT filesystem. If
only a list of files (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.
BUGS
Requires Linux kernel version 2.6.11 or later.
