To query the file attributes in Unix using a C program, you can use the stat() function. This function takes in the name of the file as a parameter and returns a structure containing information about the file, including its size, type, and permissions.
Some of the common file attributes that can be queried in Unix include the file size, permissions, owner, group, creation/modification/access dates, and file type.
You can use the access() function to check if a file exists in Unix using a C program. This function takes in the name of the file and a mode as parameters and returns 0 if the file exists or -1 if it does not.
Yes, it is possible to query the file attributes of multiple files at once in Unix using a C program. You can use the stat() function in a loop to get the attributes of each file and store them in an array or a data structure for further processing.
Yes, it is possible to change the file attributes using a C program in Unix. You can use the chmod() function to change the file permissions or the chown() function to change the owner and group of a file. However, you will need appropriate permissions to make these changes.
