27<h2><a name="attrib">Attrib</a></h2>
28<p><em>Since Ant 1.6.</em></p>
29<h3>Description</h3>
30
31<p>Changes the attributes of a file or all files inside specified
32directories. Right now it has effect only under Windows. Each of the
334 possible permissions has its own attribute, matching the arguments
34for the attrib command.</p>
35
36<p><a href="../CoreTypes/fileset.html">FileSet</a>s,
37<a href="../CoreTypes/dirset.html">DirSet</a>s or <a
38href="../CoreTypes/filelist.html">FileList</a>s can be specified using
39nested <code>&lt;fileset&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;dirset&gt;</code> and
40<code>&lt;filelist&gt;</code> elements.</p>
41
42<p>Starting with Ant 1.7, this task supports arbitrary <a
43href="../CoreTypes/resources.html#collection">Resource Collection</a>s
44as nested elements.</p>
45
46<p>By default this task will use a single invocation of the underlying
47attrib command. If you are working on a large number of files this
48may result in a command line that is too long for your operating
49system. If you encounter such problems, you should set the
50maxparallel attribute of this task to a non-zero value. The number to
51use highly depends on the length of your file names (the depth of your
52directory tree), so you'll have to experiment a little.</p>
