ObjectiveFS macOS Flags Support
Starting in version 6.5, ObjectiveFS has some support for flags for macOS. For Linux attributes support, see this doc.
ObjectiveFS currently has partial support for append-only and immutable flags. All other flags (arch, nodump, opaque, hidden) can be set and cleared and are passed through to macOS.
Usage
To use ObjectiveFS with file flags, just mount your filesystem as usual and run the corresponding chflag and ls -lO commands.
Examples
Use chflags to change a file's flags and ls -lO to list a file's flags.
Add uappend to file /ofs/logfile
# chflags uappend /ofs/logfile
List the flags of file /ofs/logfile
# ls -lO /ofs/logfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 alice admin uappnd 653 Oct 7 17:30 /ofs/logfile
Remove uappend from file /ofs/logfile
# chflags nouappend /ofs/logfile
Add hidden to file /ofs/tmpfile
# chflags hidden /ofs/tmpfile
