Field Documentation

U8 FILE_INFO::attribute

Attributes.

from: http://alumnus.caltech.edu/~pje/dosfiles.html
The bits in the attribute byte determine the type of entry as follows (bit 7 is the most significant bit):
bit meaning if bit = 1
--- ---------------------------------------
7 unused
6 unused
5 file has been changed since last backup (=archive file)
4 entry represents a subdirectory
3 entry represents a volume label
2 system file
1 hidden file
0 read-only

If the entry represents a subdirectory, bit 4 is set and all other bits are unused. If the entry represents a volume label, bit 3 is set and other bits are unused.

Since DOS file names are case-insensitive, the file name and extension contain no lower-case (small) letters. They are always converted to the corresponding capital letters before writing them to the disk. What DOS will do if it finds small letters in a file name or extension in a directory entry is undefined.
