26 The File I/O API
Arguments
fileURL, strAttrs
■ The fileURL argument, which is expressed as a file:// URL, identifies the file for which
you are setting the attributes.
■ The strAttrs argument specifies the system-level attributes for the file that is identified
by the
fileURL argument. The following table describes valid attribute values and their
meaning:
Acceptable values for the
strAttrs string are R, W, H, V, RH, RV, WH, or WV.
You should not use
R and W together because they are mutually exclusive. If you combine
them,
R becomes meaningless, and the file is set as writable (W). You should not use H and
V together because they are also mutually exclusive. If you combine them, H becomes
meaningless, and the file is set as visible (
V).
If you specify
H or V without specifying an R or W read/write attribute, the existing read/
write attribute for the file is not changed. Likewise, if you specify
R or W, without
specifying an
H or V visibility attribute, the existing visibility attribute for the file is not
changed.
Returns
Nothing.
