linux - Get fat32 attributes with python -

how can fat32 attributes (like archived, hidden...) in linux without spawning new process fatattr utility call ? may there python binding or linux/fs functions (fat_ioctl_get_attributes, http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/fs/fat/file.c). or maybe can done python-xattr ?

as can see in function name, kernel function fat_ioctl_get_attributes called userspace via ioctl, , i'm not aware of other binding. therefore, can read attributes calling ioctl yourself, this:

import array import fcntl import os  fat_ioctl_get_attributes = 0x80047210 fatattr_bits = 'rhsvda67'  def get_fat_attrs(fn):     fd = os.open(fn, os.o_rdonly)     try:         buf = array.array('l', [0])         try:             fcntl.ioctl(fd, fat_ioctl_get_attributes, buf, true)         except ioerror ioe:             if ioe.errno == 25: # not fat volume                 return none             else:                 raise          return buf[0]     finally:         os.close(fd)  if __name__ == '__main__':     import sys     fn in sys.argv[1:]:         attrv = get_fat_attrs(fn)         if attrv none:             print(fn + ': not on fat volume')             continue         s = ''.join((fb if (1 << idx) & attrv else ' ')                     idx,fb in enumerate(fatattr_bits))         print(fn + ': ' + s)
