How do I programatically create a custom file attribute?

Hi all,

I'd like to create some standard file attributes during my package install and was wondering if someone could post a snippet or point me to a add on that does this. I couldn't see it in the docs and my google terms don't seem to be working.

Is it the same as CollectionAttributeKeys?

E.g. can I go:

FileAttributeKey::add(AttributeType::getByHandle('text'),
                                 array('akIsAutoCreated' => 0,
                                          'akHandle' => 'my_handle',
                                          'akName' => 'My Attribute'));
