When I run PowerShell\'s Get-ChildItem on a directory (or any cmdlet that returns file system items), it shows a column called Mode, like this:
Mode
Calling these "attributes" is a Windows-specific name and breaks from *nix tradition of calling this "mode". I.e. man chmod for "change mode".
man chmod
It looks like Windows API design is bending (or acquiescing) toward the more popular term in the wider industry: "Mode".
+1 from me.
