How is it /dev is invisible and reports false but net is invisible and reports true?

I seem to remember a while back someone (maybe an applescriptchris) mentioning on this list that visible/invisible is a Mac OS thing but Darwin has it's own way of not showing files/folders.

In other words, a file that can't be seen may not have the invisible flag, and just because appleScript reports it's visible doesn't mean it can be seen.


That's not the real problem Ed,

It's the fact that FSPathMakeRef() fails for /dev. So the OP can't get a file reference to be able to read the visibility flags.
