This is a really simple example of how to use NWSetFileAttributes() to modify attributes of a file. Please note that you cannot modify all file attributes that NetWare supports with this function, only FA_NORMAL, FA_READ_ONLY, FA_HIDDEN, FA_SYSTEM, FA_EXECUTE_ONLY, FA_NEEDS_ARCHIVED and FA_SHAREABLE

Sample Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#include <nwcalls.h>

int main( int argc, char* argv[]) {
   NWCCODE       ccode;
   NWCONN_HANDLE conn;
   NWDIR_HANDLE  dirHandle;
   nstr8         newPath[ 256];
   if ( argc != 2) {
      puts( "Usage: SetFAttr <filename>");
      return EXIT_FAILURE;
   }
   ccode = NWParseNetWarePath( argv[ 1], &conn, &dirHandle, newPath);
   if ( ccode != 0) {
      printf( "NWParseNetWarePath failed, ccode = %x\n", ccode);
      return EXIT_FAILURE;
   }
   ccode = NWSetFileAttributes( conn, dirHandle, newPath, FA_HIDDEN | FA_SYSTEM, 0);
   if ( ccode != 0) {
      printf( "NWSetFileAttributes failed, ccode = %x\n", ccode);
      return EXIT_FAILURE;
   }
   return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
