===== Version =====

2 and higher

===== Brief =====

GET FILE ATTRIBUTES

===== Family API =====


===== Input =====

        AX = 4300h
        DS:DX -> ASCIZ filename

===== Return =====

 CF clear if successful
            CX = file attributes (see #01420)
            AX = CX (DR DOS 5.0)
        CF set on error
            AX = error code (01h,02h,03h,05h) (see #01680 at AH=59h)

===== Macro =====


===== Notes =====

  under the FlashTek X-32 DOS extender, the filename pointer is in DS:EDX
        under DR DOS 3.41 and 5.0, attempts to change the subdirectory bit are
          simply ignored without an error
 BUG:    Windows for Workgroups returns error code 05h (access denied) instead
          of error code 02h (file not found) when attempting to get the
          attributes of a nonexistent file.  This causes open() with O_CREAT
          and fopen() with the "w" mode to fail in Borland C++.
