NAME

       cpmchattr - change file attributes on CP/M files

SYNOPSIS

       cpmchattr [-f format] image attrib file-pattern ...

DESCRIPTION

       Cpmchattr changes the file attributes for files on CP/M disks.

OPTIONS

       -f format
              Use the given CP/M disk format instead of the default format.

       attrib Set the file attributes as given.

FILE ATTRIBUTES

       The  file  attribute  string can contain the characters 1,2,3,4,r,s,a,n
       and m.  The meanings of these are:

       1-4    The CP/M "user attributes" F1-F4.   CP/M  does  not  assign  any
              meaning to these attributes, though MP/M does.

       r      The file is read-only.  This is the same as using cpmchmod(1) to
              revoke write permissions.

       s      The file is a system file.  This attribute can also  be  set  by
              cpmchmod(1).

       a      The file has been backed up.

       n      Reset  all  attributes  to zero.  So the string "n1r" resets all
              attributes and then sets F1 and Read-Only.

       m      Attributes after an m are unset rather  than  set.   The  string
              "12m34" sets atttributes F1 and F2, and unsets F3 and F4.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, exit code 0 is returned.

ERRORS

       Any errors are indicated by exit code 1.

FILES
