Used by some backup programs to indicate a new file. +.TP +\&\fR\&\f(CWr\fR\ +Read-only bit. Used to indicate a read-only file. Files with this bit +set cannot be erased by \fR\&\f(CWDEL\fR nor modified. +.TP +\&\fR\&\f(CWs\fR\ +System bit. Used by MS-DOS to indicate a operating system file. +.TP +\&\fR\&\f(CWh\fR\ +Hidden bit. Used to make files hidden from \fR\&\f(CWDIR\fR. +.PP +\&\fR\&\f(CWMattrib\fR supports the following command line flags: +.TP +\&\fR\&\f(CW/\fR\ +Recursive. Recursively list the attributes of the files in the subdirectories. +.TP +\&\fR\&\f(CWX\fR\ +Concise. Prints the attributes without any whitespace padding. If +neither the "/" option is given, nor the \fImsdosfile\fR contains a +wildcard, and there is only one MS-DOS file parameter on the command +line, only the attribute is printed, and not the filename. This option +is convenient for scripts +.TP +\&\fR\&\f(CWp\fR\ +Replay mode. Outputs a series of mformat commands that will reproduce +the current situation, starting from a situation as left by untarring +the MS-DOS file system. Commands are only output for attribute settings +that differ from the default (archive bit set for files, unset for +directories). This option is intended to be used in addition to +tar. The \fR\&\f(CWreadonly\fR attribute is not taken into account, as tar can +set that one itself. +.PP +.SH See\ Also +Mtools' texinfo doc +.SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc +This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo +documentation.
