Mac OX hidden folders, files, apps, 2 ways to disk Hide Finder folder, file, application, volume in 2 ways

Often need to hide some folders in the home directory or something,

The first thought of course is: in front of the folder to be hidden add "." (Leading dot), this usage of course can be

Accustomed to the LINUX/GNU system, the basic habit of using this method

However, I found that the Mac type/users/$USER/directory of the library is hidden, but there is no leading dot, stating

Mac has a way to hide directories other than leading dot

1. Using Onyx, this is in GUI form [under Utilities->visibility]

2. Use the command parameter settings (for folders, files)

Chflags Hidden < files [Clip] path > #隐藏文件夹 {Finder cannot see}

Chflags Nohidden < files [Clip] path > #去掉隐藏属性 {Finder cannot see}

You can test it.

With chflags hidden fgh.txt [file]

The Finder can't see it.

Chflags Hidden Backup [folder]

The Finder does not see

Of course, if you use terminal, natural LS is not reference to this property, so that the hidden file [clip] is displayed, LS is to identify the leading dot this way
