The attrib task does not have the concept of turning file attributes off. Instead you specify all the attributes that you want turned on, and the rest are turned off by default.
Attribute | Description | Required |
|---|
file | The name of the file that will have its attributes set. This is provided as an alternative to using the task's fileset. | False |
archive | Set the archive attribute. Default is "false." | False |
hidden | Set the hidden attribute. Default is "false." | False |
normal | Set the normal file attributes. This attribute is valid only if used alone. Default is "false." | False |
readonly | Set the read only attribute. Default is "false." | False |
system | Set the system attribute. Default is "false." | False |
failonerror | Determines whether task failure stops the build or is just reported. Default is "true." | False |
verbose | Task reports detailed build log messages. Default is "false." | False |
if | If true then the task will be executed; otherwise skipped. Default is "true." | False |
unless | Opposite of if. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise skipped. Default is "false." | False |
