File
attributes describe files in specific ways. For example, the read-only attribute
defines a file that can’t be written—only read. Directories use a special
directory attribute that sets them apart from files. The Dir / AAttribute Filename
command, where Attribute is the attribute you want to search for, helps
you locate specific kinds of files.
Now that you have some idea of how to
find files using an attribute, it’s time to look at the available attributes.
The following list describes each of the standard attributes:
·
/AA:
Locates files that are ready for archiving.
·
/AD:
Locates directory entries.
