Does anyone know if it's possible to programmatically hide an

Rename it so that it starts with a period. "Dot-files" are hidden.
Well, there's also the hidden bit in the file's metadata. It's
accessible a number of ways:
chflags(2) with UF_HIDDEN
The kIsInvisible flag of the finderFlags field of the FileInfo and
FolderInfo, settable with FSSetCatalogInfo.
The command: /Developer/Tool/SetFile -a V <path>
setattrlist(2) via either ATTR_CMN_FLAGS (analogous to chflags) or
ATTR_CMN_FNDRINFO (analogous to FSSetCatalogInfo).
Etc.
Cheers,
Ken
