In unit Dos

Set file attributes.

Declaration

procedure SetFAttr(var f; attr: Word)

Description

SetFAttr sets the file attributes of the file-variable F. F can be a untyped or typed file, or of type Text. F must have been assigned, but not opened. The attributes can be a sum of the following constants:

  • ReadOnly
  • Hidden
  • SysFile
  • VolumeId

Under Unix like systems (such as Linux and BeOS) the call exists, but is not implemented, i.e. it does nothing.
