As usual in Mac-land, there are 6 ways of doing everything.
That flag is the same as the hidden/invisible flag available through the higher-level frameworks like Launch Services, the File Manager, and Cocoa. Similarly with UF_IMMUTABLE and the locked flag. In general, the higher-level frameworks are implemented in terms of the lower-level ones. Where higher-level concepts are not supported by the low-level implementation (e.g. a particular file system), they are emulated as best as possible.
