2.1.2 FileAttributesFlags
The FileAttributesFlags structure defines bits that specify the file attributes of the link target, if the target is a file system item. File attributes can be used if the link target is not available, or if accessing the target would be inefficient. It is possible for the target items attributes to be out of sync with this value.
