Description
Returns the file attributes of FileName. FileGetAttr returns the attributes of the file as a string of bits. This value is the same as the Attr field of a TSearchRec type. Check for individual attributes with code such as the following:
Attrs := FileGetAttr('MyFile.sys');
if (Attrs or faHidden) <> 0 then
FileSetAttr('MyFile.sys', Attrs and SysUtils.faHidden)
else
FileSetAttr('MyFile.sys', Attrs and (not SysUtils.faHidden));
Note: A return value of faInvalid indicates that an error occurred.
Note: See TSearchRec for a description of the individual attribute constants.
Note: If the specified file parameter is a symbolic link and the FollowLink parameter is set to True, the method is performed on the target file. If the first condition is True and the FollowLink parameter is set to False, the method will be performed on the symbolic link.
