In computing, ATTRIB is a command in Intel ISIS-II, [1] DOS, IBM OS/2, [2] Microsoft Windows [3] and ReactOS [4] that allows the user to change various characteristics, or "attributes" of a computer file or directory.
Attrib changes or views the attributes of one or more files. It defaults to display the attributes of all files in the current directory. The file attributes available include read-only, archive, system, and hidden attributes. The command has the capability to process whole folders and subfolders of files and also process all files.
In DOS, OS/2 and Windows, the attrib command in cmd.exe and command.com can be used to change and display the four traditional file attributes. [3] [9] File Explorer in Windows can show the seven mentioned attributes but cannot set or clear the System attribute. [5]
ATTRIB: Set or display file attributes. BACKUP / RESTORE: simple backup and restore utilities. CHKDSK: Check disk for file system integrity. COMP: File compare utility. DEBUG: Simple command line debugger. DELTREE: Delete a directory tree. DISKCOMP: Compare floppy disks. DISKCOPY: Copy floppy disks. DOSKEY: Command line editor.
In DOS systems, file directory entries include a Hidden file attribute which is manipulated using the attrib command. Using the command line command dir /ah displays the files with the Hidden attribute. In addition, there is a System file attribute that can be set on a file, which also causes the file to be hidden in directory listings.
In MS-DOS as well as nearly all versions of Windows, status of the archive bit can be viewed or changed with the attrib command-line utility, or by viewing the properties of a file with the Windows shell or Windows Explorer.
Isaac Newton (attrib.) In an unpublished manuscript, Newton made a reference to the year 2060, which in 2004 was falsely reported by mainstream media as a date for the end of the world. Newton was actually predicting a date before which the world would definitely not end, in order to calm people's fears about the apocalypse. [195] [196] 2129
