HATTRIB(1)		     General Commands Manual		      HATTRIB(1)

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 attrib-
     utes, regardless of the file's current attributes. Any attribute  not  men-
     tioned 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.
