* stream, use g_file_input_stream_query_info() or
* g_file_output_stream_query_info() (or their async variants).
*
* To change the actual attributes of a file, you should then set the
* attribute in the #GFileInfo and call g_file_set_attributes_from_info()
* or g_file_set_attributes_async() on a GFile.
*
* However, not all attributes can be changed in the file. For instance,
* the actual size of a file cannot be changed via g_file_info_set_size().
* You may call g_file_query_settable_attributes() and
* g_file_query_writable_namespaces() to discover the settable attributes
* of a particular file at runtime.

* #GFileAttributeMatcher allows for searching through a #GFileInfo for
* attributes.
