Dos Unit, WinDos Unit
Returns the attributes of a file.
Declaration:
procedure GetFAttr(var F; var Attr: Word);
Remarks:
F is a file variable, either typed, untyped, or text file that is
not open. Attr contains the file attributes.
The file associated with F must be closed. Attr should be
examined by ANDing it with the file attribute constants, which are defined
in the Dos unit.
Errors are reported in DosError, a variable defined in the Dos unit.
For more information about file attributes consult your DOS reference manual.
Example:
uses
Dos;
var
Fi : Text;
Attr: Word;
begin
Assign(Fi,'THEFILE.DOC');
GetFAttr(Fi, Attr);
if (Attr and ReadOnly) <> 0 then
SetFAttr(Fi,(Attr xor ReadOnly));
end.
