fatattr

Small linux application to see or modify MSDOS attributes in a FAT file system. Uses the ioctl calls of the linux kernel header msdos_fs.h to access and modify the MSDOS attributes.

Requirements

  • SCons
  • Clang
  • Linux kernel :)

Installation

Type scons to build the program, the executable will be in bin/fatattr. Type scons -h to see the build options available.

Usage

Command syntax: fatattr [options] FILE1 ...

Accepted options:

  • +R: Sets the read-only attribute.
  • -R: Remove the read-only attribute.
  • +A: Sets the archive attribute.
  • -A: Remove the archive attribute.
  • +S: Sets the system attribute.
  • -S: Remove the system attribute.
  • +H: Sets the hidden attribute.
  • -H: Remove the system attribute.
  • +D: Sets the directory attribute (warning! see below).
  • -D: Remove the directory attribute (warning! see below).
  • +V: Sets the volume label attribute (warning! see below).
  • -V: Remove the volume label attribute (warning! see below).
  • --recursive: If FILE is a directory, process it recursively.
  • --verbose: Verbose attribute changes.
  • --help: Show this help.
  • --version: Show only the program name, version and credits.
  • --: Forces all arguments past this one to be interpreted as files.

If no attribute change is specified, the program prints the file(s) attributes.

Do NOT use the +D, -D, +V and -V options if you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing.
