## Description

The lsattr program allows to list file attributes, namely DOS attributes, file sparseness, FS level encryption and compression state, as well as directories' case sensitivity setting.

Supported attributes:

      'r', 'Readonly':      file is read-only, directory is system-marked
      'h', 'Hidden':        file or directory is hidden
      's', 'System':        file or directory that the operating system uses
      'a', 'Archive':       file or directory has the archive marker set
      't', 'Temporary':     file is being used for temporary storage
      'S', 'Sparse':        file is sparse
      'r', 'Reparse':       file or directory that has a reparse point
      'c', 'Compressed':    file or directory is compressed
      'o', 'Offline':       the data of a file is moved to offline storage
      'n', 'Notindexed':    file or directory is not to be indexed by the
                            content indexing service
      'e', 'Encrypted':     file is encrypted
      'C', 'Casesensitive': directory is handled case sensitive
                            (Windows 10 1803 or later, local NTFS only,
                             WSL must be installed)
