Syntax
NSFile.CurrentFileAttributes
Return Values
The following numbers are valid, and can be combined for multiple attributes. For example, a file can be read-only and hidden, and have the numeric value of 3.
| Value | Description |
| 0 | The file or directory has no other attributes set. This attribute is valid only if used alone. |
| 1 | The file or directory is read-only. Applications can read the file but cannot write to it, or delete it. In the case of a directory, applications cannot delete it. |
| 2 | The file or directory is hidden. It is not included in an ordinary directory listing. |
| 4 | The file or directory is part of, or is used exclusively by, the operating system. |
| 16 | The file or directory is a directory. |
| 32 | The file or directory is an archive file or directory. Applications use this flag to mark files for backup or removal. |
| 256 | 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 must be deleted by the application as soon as it is no longer needed. |
| 2048 | The file or directory is compressed. For a file, this means that all of the data in the file is compressed. For a directory, this means that compression is the default for newly created files and subdirectories. |
| 4096 | The data in the file is not immediately available. This indicates that the file data has been physically moved to offline storage. |
