In the Java Edition, due to limitations of the JRE, the effect of this property is limited. When including files, only the Hidden and Readonly bits will be read from the file system, and during extraction only the Readonly attribute will be written.

The file_index parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the file_count property.
