I was scanning the javadocs, and haven't been able to find a comprehensive list of all valid attributes (e.g. "dos:hidden") for use in java.nio.file.Files.setAttribute. Are they listed somewhere, or do you just have to remember them based on the operating system you are using?

You need to refer to BasicFileAttributeView, DosFileAttributeView, and PosixFileAttributeView

That helps, thanks. For anyone else, I discovered that while the attributes are listed in the respective XAttributesView javadoc, the name (e.g. "dos:" prefix) is defined by the name() function of those classes.

e.g.
DosFileAttributeView dosAttributesView = Files.getFileAttributeView(p, DosFileAttributeView.class);
System.out.println("DosFileAttributes view name is "+ dosAttributesView.name());
