Changes the attributes of a file or all files inside specified directories. Right now it has effect only under Windows. Each of the 4 possible permissions has its own attribute, matching the arguments for the attrib command.
FileSets or FileLists can be specified using nested fileset and
filelist elements.
By default this task won't do anything unless it detects it is running on a Windows system. If you know for sure that you have a "attrib" executable on your PATH that is command line compatible with the Windows command, you can use the task's os attribute and set its value to your current os.
