Task Reference
<attrib> |
v0.90 |
Changes the file attributes of a file or set of files and directories.
<attrib> task does not have the concept of turning attributes off. Instead you specify all the attributes that you want turned on and the rest are turned off by default.
Refer to the FileAttributes enumeration in the .NET SDK for more information about file attributes.
| Attribute | Type | Description | Required |

| archive | bool | Set the archive attribute. The default is false. | False |
| file | file | The name of the file which will have its attributes set. This is provided as an alternate to using the task's fileset. | False |
| hidden | bool | Set the hidden attribute. The default is false. | False |
| normal | bool | Set the normal file attributes. This attribute is only valid if used alone. The default is false. | False |
