Mac system How to set up hidden and displayed files

If you're a curious person who wants to explore the Apple system, when you want to find out where the library is, how can you not find it? When you want to hide your secret, you can only hide it in the form of a folder stack? No insurance, in the event of meeting to see the folder on the point of the people do not stop to do? Open the terminal, Lock the Secret in nothingness!

1, first of all, to ensure that you know the name of the target file or folder, you do not put this name correctly into the terminal, the Mac can do nothing ah ...

2, open the terminal, input chflags hidden

3, after the above code plus the path of the folder, but note that the path here refers to your user folder inside the path, so the map of the "secret" folder path is downloads/secret

4, enter, this time you will be your secret folder on the success of the invisible, Chflags hidden folder path, the above code is the folder to hide the method, the same way to display a hidden folder is the code, chflags Nohidden folder path

5, but, if even I forgot to put a hidden folder here? Did you lose the secret?

At the same time, there is a simpler way, chflags hidden downloads/Secret/*, the above code can let the secret of all the contents of the folder hidden, but not hide the folder itself, and you can see that the folder should have two files, but see nothing!
