File attribute

A file attribute is like a description or a label that tells a computer some important information about a file. It is like a tag or sticker that we put on our toys to remember what they are. The computer uses these attributes to organize and manage files on its system.

There are different types of attributes such as file size, creation date, last modification date, and read-only status. The file size attribute tells the computer how much space the file takes up on the hard drive. This can help you keep track of the size of your files and make sure you have enough space on your computer.

Creation date and last modification date attributes tell the computer when the file was created and when it was last changed or edited. This can help you keep track of important files, like school projects or work documents.

Read-only status is another file attribute that tells the computer whether or not a file can be edited or changed. If a file has a read-only attribute, it means you cannot make any changes to the file unless you change its attribute to read-write.

In summary, file attributes are like labels for our computer files. They help to keep track of important details about the files, like their size, when they were created or last modified, and whether or not they can be edited.
