SetFileAttributes(f$, t)

The file (or directory) whose attributes you want to change must be passed as parameter f$. The second parameter is a table which contains all attributes you want to modify. The following fields can be set in the table:

Flags:

Use this field to change the protection flags of the file or directory. Set this field to a combination of protection flags or to #FILEATTR_NORMAL to reset all protection flags. See Protection flags for details.

Time:

Use this field to change the time stamp of the file or directory. This field can be used to change the time when the file was last changed. You need to set this field to a string in the format dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss. E.g.: 08-Nov-2004 14:32:13.

LastAccessTime:

Use this field to modify the time the file or directory was last accessed. The string you specify here must be in the format dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss. This attribute is not supported on AmigaOS.

CreationTime:

Use this field to modify the creation time of the file or directory. The string you specify here must be in the format dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss. This attributed is only supported on Windows.

Comment:

Use this field to change the comment of a file. This is only supported by the Amiga versions.

Adapter:

This tag allows you to specify one or more filesystem adapters that should be asked to handle the operation. This must be set to a string containing the name(s) of one or more adapter(s). Defaults to the adapter set using SetDefaultAdapter(). See Loaders and adapters for details. (V10.0)

UserTags:

This tag can be used to specify additional data that should be passed to filesystem adapters. If you use this tag, you must set it to a table of key-value pairs that contain the additional data that should be passed to plugins. See User tags for details. (V10.0)
