emacs -Q
There is nothing about file attributes indexed in the manual (except
`w32-get-true-file-attributes). At least index function
`file-attributes', and possible also `file attributes'.
In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2011-08-22 on 3249CTO

??? file-attributes _is_ indexed. It must be, as every function and
variable described in the ELisp manual is automatically indexed by the
program that generates the manual.

Sorry, I meant the Emacs manual. All of what I wrote applies to the Emacs
manual, but I mistyped the Subject line.

On checking, I think Drew's referring to the Emacs manual.

The Emacs manual does not document functions, only commands. Why
should a user worry about file-attributes?

Bzzzzzzzzt! Wrong, but thanks for playing.
The Emacs manual is not a reference manual. It does not provide reference doc
for functions. But it does provide information about some functions - and not
just commands.
And lo and behold, `file-attributes' is one of those functions that the Emacs
manual says something about. Please index that information. Thx.
Tip: You will have to search for it; it's not in the index. ;-)

There's nothing it says that is worth indexing. The function's name is
mentioned, that's all.
Index entries are for something that is _described_. file-attributes
is not described in that manual, nor is there any significant
information pertaining to file-attributes that is in this manual.

It could provide a link/reference to the description of file-attributes
in the Elisp manual.
