/**
 * A file attribute view that provides a view of the legacy "DOS" file attributes.
 * These attributes are supported by file systems such as the File Allocation
 * Table (FAT) format commonly used in <em>consumer devices</em>.
 *
 * <p> A {@code DosFileAttributeView} is a {@link BasicFileAttributeView} that
 * additionally supports access to the set of DOS attribute flags that are used
 * to indicate if the file is read-only, hidden, a system file, or archived.
 *
 * <p> Where dynamic access to file attributes is required, the attributes
 * supported by this attribute view are as defined by {@code
 * BasicFileAttributeView}, and in addition, the following attributes are
 * supported:
 * <blockquote>
 * <table class="striped">
 * <caption style="display:none">Supported attributes</caption>
 * <thead>
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="col"> Name </th>
 *     <th scope="col"> Type </th>
 *   </tr>
 * </thead>
 * <tbody>
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="row"> readonly </th>
 *     <td> {@link Boolean} </td>
 *   </tr>
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="row"> hidden </th>
 *     <td> {@link Boolean} </td>
 *   </tr>
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="row"> system </th>
 *     <td> {@link Boolean} </td>
 *   </tr>
 *   <tr>
 *     <th scope="row"> archive </th>
 *     <td> {@link Boolean} </td>
 *   </tr>
 * </tbody>
 * </table>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p> The {@link java.nio.file.Files#getAttribute getAttribute} method may
 * be used to read any of these attributes, or any of the attributes defined by
 * {@link BasicFileAttributeView} as if by invoking the {@link #readAttributes
 * readAttributes()} method.
 *
 * <p> The {@link java.nio.file.Files#setAttribute setAttribute} method may
 * be used to update the file's last modified time, last access time or create
 * time attributes as defined by {@link BasicFileAttributeView}. It may also be
 * used to update the DOS attributes as if by invoking the {@link #setReadOnly
 * setReadOnly}, {@link #setHidden setHidden}, {@link #setSystem setSystem}, and
 * {@link #setArchive setArchive} methods respectively.
