  • Thread-topic: BSD Flags further

Can someone explain what the actual effect of setting each flag is, namely:

arch
opaque
nodump
sappnd
schg
sunlink
uuappnd
uchg
uunlink

I've read the man, but I still don't actually understand what they do.

Also, after some are set, I've now found that even sudo'ing "no" commands in
chflags will not undo the original flag.

-rw-r--r--   1 jeffrey  admin  sappnd,arch,opaque       16 17 Oct 22:54
testfile
:~/desktop root# chflags nosappnd testfile
chflags: testfile: Operation not permitted

Is there some other way to un-set these flags?

Thanks :)

All My Best,
Jeffrey
