Does HFS+ file system under Darwin XNU provide such API to reserve the disk space of GB’s?

Well, the file system will ALWAYS be "aware" of it, but the way to make it "invisible" is to open a file descriptor to it and unlink it while the file is still open.

In this way you can access the file on disk but traversing the directory structure will not reveal your file's existence.
