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.

| name | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public String name() Redeclares java. Returns the name of the attribute view. Attribute views of this type
have the name

| readAttributes | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public DosFileAttributes readAttributes() throws IOException Redeclares java. Doc from java. Reads the basic file attributes as a bulk operation. It is implementation specific if all file attributes are read as an atomic operation with respect to other file system operations.
| |
| setArchive | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public void setArchive(boolean value) throws IOException Updates the value of the archive attribute. It is implementation specific if the attribute can be updated as an atomic operation with respect to other file system operations. An implementation may, for example, require to read the existing value of the DOS attribute in order to update this attribute.
| |
| setHidden | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public void setHidden(boolean value) throws IOException Updates the value of the hidden attribute. It is implementation specific if the attribute can be updated as an atomic operation with respect to other file system operations. An implementation may, for example, require to read the existing value of the DOS attribute in order to update this attribute.
| |
| setReadOnly | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public void setReadOnly(boolean value) throws IOException Updates the value of the read-only attribute. It is implementation specific if the attribute can be updated as an atomic operation with respect to other file system operations. An implementation may, for example, require to read the existing value of the DOS attribute in order to update this attribute.
| |
| setSystem | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public void setSystem(boolean value) throws IOException Updates the value of the system attribute. It is implementation specific if the attribute can be updated as an atomic operation with respect to other file system operations. An implementation may, for example, require to read the existing value of the DOS attribute in order to update this attribute.
