Static method.
The string returned will contain a subset of the letters in the string "RASHNDOCT":
R = read-only
A = ARCHIVE
S = SYSTEM
H = HIDDEN
N = NORMAL
D = DIRECTORY
O = OFFLINE
C = COMPRESSED

To check if a particular attribute is present in the retrieved string, following this example:
Attributes := Mfunc.FileGetAttrib("C:\My File.txt")
IfInString, Attributes, H MsgBox The file is hidden.
On a related note, to retrieve a file's 8.3 short name, follow this example:
Loop, C:\My Documents\Address List.txt
ShortPathName = %A_LoopFileShortPath% ; Will yield something similar to C:\MYDOCU~1\ADDRES~1.txt
