Right mouse click on the file you want to inspect.
Then pick the last item - Properties.
On the botton you will find file attributes.
These properties are called the file attributes
The "System" and "Encrypted" attributes can not be used together.
File properties are attributes associated with files that provide information about them, such as size, date created, date modified, and file type. These properties help users identify and manage files more effectively by offering details about their content and characteristics. Users can view and modify file properties in the file's properties window on most operating systems.
File attributes are essential because they provide metadata about a file, such as its size, creation date, modification date, permissions, and ownership. These attributes help in managing and organizing files within a file system, ensuring security and accessibility. They also enable efficient data retrieval and storage management, as well as facilitate backup and recovery processes. Overall, file attributes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and usability of digital information.
File attributes are not specifically used to run Perl scripts (ie. you can run them without setting or changing them).
Right-click the file and select Properties
Just run attrib command..
Write to the file, append to the file, and read or change its attributes.
hidden file (H), read-only(R), archive file (A), index file (which is only in vista), System file (s)
The Attributes of the file can only be viewed. The file cannot be modified, edited or tampered until the pathway of the file is saved on your hard drive.
The package that allows you to view the attributes of a local file on the database server is typically DBMS_LOB in Oracle databases. This package provides functionality for managing and manipulating large objects (LOBs), including file attributes. You can use procedures and functions within DBMS_LOB to retrieve metadata about the files stored in the database.
All files, DOS, or Windows have attributes. Files can be Hidden, System, Read-Only, Archive, or any combination of them. For example, there are some important windows files that are hidden, read-only, and system. On a windows operating system, you can right-click the file, and choose properties from the menu. At the bottom, you should see the attributies of a file. In DOS ( only because you brought it up ) you would need to be in the directory of the the file and type "ATTRIB [filename]" to view the attributes. Type "ATTRIB /?" to read how to change the attributes.
