- Purpose: Permits changing or resetting any or all file atribute bits.
-
- Format: ATR [d:][path]filename[.ext] [x...]
-
- Remarks: [x...] is a list of atributes to be set, according to the
- following list:
-
- x ATTRIBUTE
-
- [blank] Reset all bits to OFF.
-
- r Set to READ ONLY.
- Prevents writing to file.
-
- w (write) Turn off READ ONLY
- Resumes standard read/write status.

- be found by normal file searches.

-
- Attributes to be set are listed without spaces or punctuation
- between, such as "ATR A:COMMAND.COM RB". If contradictory
- attributes are listed, the last one appearing takes precedence.
- A blank (space) terminates the list, and invalid atribute codes
- will be ignored, as if not present, EXCEPT one invalid atrib-
- ute and no valid atributes will NOT act like a blank, but in-
- stead will leave the current atributes unchanged.
-
- Global or ambiguous filespecs may be used, such as:
- "ATR B:*.??M HS"
