DOS/Windows file attributes
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
The DOS/Windows file attributes are a set of standard one-bit attributes for a file or directory. The original form was a one-byte field associated with FAT, but it has been extended and updated over time. Some archiving and filesystem formats have a way to store (some subset of) these attributes.
