It returns the file's attributes as a DWORD. If you have the help installed
you can look it up in there. If not look it up on Google :)

Basically the DWORD contains bits which have individual meanings. If the
file is read-only and compressed then the value returned will be the result
of FILE_ATTRIBUTE_COMPRESSED ORed with FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY.
