Notes
This is somewhat like "closing" a file. It will update the "last modified" date/time attributes according to the 84+/SE clock and can also change the hidden/read-only/archived attributes. It is NOT necessary to use this function.
Example code to update a file's "last modified" date/time attributes only:
ld hl,file_handle ld b,0 U_CALL DOS_updateAttributes ...
