WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA 0XI5KD

[New - Windows NT]

The WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA structure contains attribute information for a file or directory. The GetFileAttributesEx1BGV005 function uses this structure.

The information contained in the WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA structure is a superset of the information returned by the GetFileAttributes3PQDMO function.

typedef struct _WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA{

DWORD dwFileAttributes;

FILETIME ftCreationTime;

FILETIME ftLastAccessTime;

FILETIME ftLastWriteTime;

DWORD nFileSizeHigh;

DWORD nFileSizeLow;

} WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA, *LPWIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA;

Members

dwFileAttributes

A set of bit flags that specifies FAT-style attribute information for the file or directory. This is the same information that the GetFileAttributes3PQDMO function returns.

The following attribute flags are defined:

Value	Description
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE	The file or directory is an archive file or directory. Applications use this flag to mark files for backup or removal.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_COMPRESSED	The file or directory is compressed. For a file, this means that all data in the file is compressed. For a directory, this means that compression is the default for newly created files and subdirectories.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY	The file or directory is a directory.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN	The file or directory is hidden. It is not included in an ordinary directory listing.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL	The file or directory has no other attributes set. This attribute is valid only if used alone.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE	The data of the file is not immediately available. Indicates that the file data has been physically moved to offline storage.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY	The file or directory is read-only. Applications can read from the file but cannot write to it or delete it. In the case of a directory, applications cannot delete it.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM	The file or directory is part of, or is used exclusively by, the operating system.
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY	The file is being used for temporary storage. File systems attempt to keep all of the data in memory for quicker access rather than flushing the data back to mass storage. A temporary file should be deleted by the application as soon as it is no longer needed.

ftCreationTime

A FILETIMEA44M8H structure that specifies when the file or directory was created.

ftLastAccessTime

A FILETIMEA44M8H structure. For a file, the structure specifies when the file was last read from or written to. For a directory, the structure specifies when the directory was created. For both files and directories, the specified date will be correct, but the time of day will always be set to midnight.

ftLastWriteTime

A FILETIMEA44M8H structure. For a file, the structure specifies when the file was last written to. For a directory, the structure specifies when the directory was created.

nFileSizeHigh

Specifies the high-order DWORD of the file size. This member has no meaning for directories.

nFileSizeLow

Specifies the low-order DWORD of the file size. This member has no meaning for directories.
