public interface DosFileAttributeView extends BasicFileAttributeView
A DosFileAttributeView is a BasicFileAttributeView that
additionally supports access to the set of DOS attribute flags that are used
to indicate if the file is read-only, hidden, a system file, or archived.
Where dynamic access to file attributes is required, the attributes
supported by this attribute view are as defined by BasicFileAttributeView, and in addition, the following attributes are
supported:
Name Type readonly Booleanhidden Booleansystem Booleanarchive Boolean
The getAttribute method may
be used to read any of these attributes, or any of the attributes defined by
BasicFileAttributeView as if by invoking the readAttributes() method.
The setAttribute method may
be used to update the file's last modified time, last access time or create
time attributes as defined by BasicFileAttributeView. It may also be
used to update the DOS attributes as if by invoking the setReadOnly, setHidden, setSystem, and
setArchive methods respectively.
