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.

How can we lock the file with DOS?
To lock a file in DOS, you can use the ATTRIB command to set the file as read-only, which prevents modifications. The command syntax is ATTRIB +R filename, where "filename" is the name of the file you want to lock. Additionally, you can set file permissions using attributes like hidden or system. However, true file locking in DOS is limited, as it doesn't provide robust file locking mechanisms like modern operating systems.
