NAME

       hattrib - change HFS file or directory attributes

SYNOPSIS

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

       hattrib -b hfs-path

DESCRIPTION

       hattrib  permits  the  alteration  of  HFS file attributes. In the first form, 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.

       In the second form, a single HFS pathname refering to a folder is given with the -b option, causing it to
       become "blessed" as the MacOS System Folder. For this to be  useful,  the  folder  should  contain  valid
       Macintosh System and Finder files.

       Note that the locked and "blessed" attributes have little consequence to hfsutils.
