Return the attributes for the file.

Syntax

object.Attributes

The object is an expression that evaluates to a PackageFile object. The return value is a combination of one or more bit flags which represent a specific attribute. The following attributes are used:

Constant	Description
apFileArchive	The file is an archive file. Applications use this attribute to mark files for backup or removal.
apFileHidden	The file is hidden. It is not included in an ordinary directory listing.
apFileNormal	The file has no other attributes set. This attribute is valid only if used alone.
apFileReadonly	The file is read-only. Applications can read the file but cannot write to it or delete it.
apFileSystem	The file is part of the operating system or is used exclusively by it.

Remarks

The Attributes property returns the attributes for the file at the time that it was stored in the package.
