Viewing/Changing File Attributes

Quote:

Original post by Spyder_Snyper So I want to be able to view and change the permissions for a specific file. And for some reason, I can't seem to find any info on this topic... cout << GetFileAttributes("testText.txt") << endl; This code prints out "32". I have NO idea what that means. Given enough time, I probably COULD figure it out on my own, but I'm feeling all that up to it at the moment. The other thing I'd like to know is about SetFileAttributes (if there IS one...). Basically, eveything about getting and setting file attributes. I'm going for the Windows solutino if possible. Windows XP preferably... Thanks...

DWORD value = GetFileAttributes( "isItADirectory" );if( value & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY ){    std::cout << "File is a directory...\n";}
