You want BNode::WriteAttr() (BFile is a BNode subclass and as such
has all those functions). Note however that you won't be able to query
against those attributes unless you first add an index for them via
the mkindex terminal command. c.f.
http://www.haiku-os.org/legacy-docs/bebook/BNode.html#BNode_Member_Functions
for details with respect to the read/write attribute functions.
