Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Description
 
    The constants for file attributes represent bit values in the
    attribute byte in the DOS directory. Use the constants as bit
    masks to specify DOS file attributes.
 
    Pass one or more constants to the procedures FindFirst and
    SetFAttr. Compare the attributes returned by GetFAttr with one
    or more constants. Combine the constants by using the bit-wise
    operators AND and OR, or the plus (+) operator.
