How to change the attributes of a file

[merry]

I want to change the attributes of a file through Qt.
I want to change attributes such as file Type, file creater etc.

Their is a utility in SetFile which is used in mac for the same purpose ,but i want to do that through programming.

As far as I know Qt has no support for file attributes. You need to look for a platform specific solution for this.

I have no better idea where to start looking for that on a mac, than google, which revealed:
