Retrieves file-system attributes of a file or directory.

Syntax

GetFileAttr ( fileName )

GetAttr is acceptable in place of GetFileAttr.

Elements

fileName

The name of a file or directory. File and directory names can optionally include paths.

The return value is the sum of the Integer values in the following list for those attributes that apply to fileName:

Value	Attribute	Constant
0	Normal file	ATTR_NORMAL
1	Read-only file	ATTR_READONLY
2	Hidden file	ATTR_HIDDEN
4	System file	ATTR_SYSTEM
16	Directory	ATTR_DIRECTORY
32	File that has changed since it was last backed up (archived)	ATTR_ARCHIVE

Usage

The constants in the preceding list are defined in the file lsconst.lss. Including this file in your script allows you to use constant names instead of their numeric values.
