These bits contain the 'file type', 'setuid', 'setgid', and 'sticky' bits. These are unrelated to permissions and should not be modified by this operation.

(The implementation currently interprets this as a signal that the 'external file attributes'  should not be populated and the 'version made by' OS will be MSDOS instead of Unix)
