| .TH FATATTR "1" "3 January 2005" "fatattr" "H. Peter Anvin" |
| .SH NAME |
| fatattr \- Display or change attributes on a FAT filesystem |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B fatattr |
| [\fI+-rhsvda67\fP] \fIfiles\fP... |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .PP |
| .B 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. |
| .PP |
| The attributes are: |
| .TP |
| .B r |
| File or directory is readonly. |
| .TP |
| .B h |
| File or directory is hidden. |
| .TP |
| .B 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. |
| .TP |
| .B v |
| Entry is a volume label. This bit cannot be changed. |
| .TP |
| .B d |
| Entry is a directory. This bit cannot be changed. |
| .TP |
| .B 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. |
| .TP |
| \fB6\fP, \fB7\fP |
| Unused attributes, set to zero when the file is created and otherwise |
| unchanged. |
| .SH BUGS |
| Requires Linux kernel version 2.6.11 or later. |
