Description Chris 2022-01-31 14:20:32 UTC 
I'm running against libsmbclient 4.10.16 17.el7_9 on Centos 7. Calling smbc_getFunctionGetxattr and querying the system.dos_attr.mode attribute against a hidden file or folder no longer returns correct information. It seems that we now receive a unix-like permission mask with no entries for hidden, archive or system.

Steps to reproduce:

Call smbc_getFunctionGetxattr as in https://github.com/eduardok/libsmbclient-php and request system.dos_attr.mode

Actual Results:

For a hidden file we receive 0x41ed

Expected Results:

A mask containing appropriate values for FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE and FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM.

I've found other reports of this issue online but no resolution or indications that we should be using an alternative method to retrieve these attributes.
