Can I get file attributes (hidden / archived ...) with boost file system?

Question

I use boost :: filesystem to copy a directory recursively. I would like to exclude hidden files. Can I get FAT32 file attributes, such as "hidden" or "archive", using the boost file system?

Thanks,

Philipp

Boost :: file system is currently limited to POSIX file attributes. However, the documentation for the file_status class indicates that the implementation can be extended at any time. I would suggest that this is just waiting for someone motivated to do the job.
