|
system | The file is a system file. The file is part of the operating system or is used exclusively by the operating system.

|
normal | The file is normal and has no other attributes set. This attribute is valid only if used alone.
|
temporary | The file is temporary. File systems attempt to keep all of the data in memory for quicker access rather than flushing the data back to mass storage. A temporary file should be deleted by the application as soon as it is no longer needed.
