Description

The lsattr program allows to list file attributes, namely DOS attributes, file sparseness, FS level encryption and compression state, as well as directories' case sensitivity setting.

  'h', 'Hidden':        file or directory is hidden
  's', 'System':        file or directory that the operating system uses
  'a', 'Archive':       file or directory has the archive marker set
  't', 'Temporary':     file is being used for temporary storage
  'S', 'Sparse':        file is sparse
  'r', 'Reparse':       file or directory that has a reparse point
  'c', 'Compressed':    file or directory is compressed
  'o', 'Offline':       the data of a file is moved to offline storage
  'n', 'Notindexed':    file or directory is not to be indexed by the
                        content indexing service
  'e', 'Encrypted':     file is encrypted
  'C', 'Casesensitive': directory is handled case sensitive
