30 /**
31  * A file attribute view that provides a view of the legacy "DOS" file attributes.
32  * These attributes are supported by file systems such as the File Allocation
33  * Table (FAT) format commonly used in <em>consumer devices</em>.
34  *
35  * <p> A {@code DosFileAttributeView} is a {@link BasicFileAttributeView} that
36  * additionally supports access to the set of DOS attribute flags that are used
37  * to indicate if the file is read-only, hidden, a system file, or archived.
38  *
39  * <p> Where dynamic access to file attributes is required, the attributes
40  * supported by this attribute view are as defined by {@code
41  * BasicFileAttributeView}, and in addition, the following attributes are
42  * supported:
43  * <blockquote>
44  * <table border="1" cellpadding="8" summary="Supported attributes">
45  *   <tr>
46  *     <th> Name </th>
47  *     <th> Type </th>
48  *   </tr>
49  *   <tr>
50  *     <td> readonly </td>
51  *     <td> {@link Boolean} </td>
52  *   </tr>
53  *   <tr>
54  *     <td> hidden </td>
55  *     <td> {@link Boolean} </td>
56  *   </tr>
57  *   <tr>
58  *     <td> system </td>
59  *     <td> {@link Boolean} </td>
60  *   </tr>
61  *   <tr>
62  *     <td> archive </td>
63  *     <td> {@link Boolean} </td>
64  *   </tr>
65  * </table>
66  * </blockquote>
67  *
68  * <p> The {@link java.nio.file.Files#getAttribute getAttribute} method may
69  * be used to read any of these attributes, or any of the attributes defined by
70  * {@link BasicFileAttributeView} as if by invoking the {@link #readAttributes
71  * readAttributes()} method.
72  *
73  * <p> The {@link java.nio.file.Files#setAttribute setAttribute} method may
74  * be used to update the file's last modified time, last access time or create
75  * time attributes as defined by {@link BasicFileAttributeView}. It may also be
76  * used to update the DOS attributes as if by invoking the {@link #setReadOnly
77  * setReadOnly}, {@link #setHidden setHidden}, {@link #setSystem setSystem}, and
78  * {@link #setArchive setArchive} methods respectively.
