hattrib - change HFS file or directory attributes


SYNOPSIS

       hattrib [-t TYPE] [-c CREA] [-|+i] [-|+l] hfs-path [...]


DESCRIPTION

       hattrib permits the alteration of HFS file attributes. The
       MacOS-defined type and creator attributes can be set using
       the -t and -c flags, respectively. A file's invisible flag
       can be set  or  cleared  with  +i  and  -i,  respectively.
       Finally,  a  file's locked flag can be set or cleared with
       +l and -l.

       All files mentioned on the command line will  receive  the
       specified  attributes,  regardless  of  the file's current
       attributes. Any attribute not  mentioned  in  the  command
       line is left unchanged.

       Note that the invisible and locked flags only have meaning
       to the Macintosh Finder.
