I am attempting to do some testing that requires me to reliably enable and disable file and folder attributes. I am attempting to use the xcode tool setfile and am not able to disable attributes that I have seemingly set. I have been looking up how to do this, and have not been able to find what I think is relaible information so far.

Uppercase attribute letters set the attribute, lowercase ones clear them. So "SetFile -a V" makes a file invisible, "SetFile -a v" makes it, uh, un-invisible.


This is described in the help text that you get by running the tool with no arguments (I don't know why there isn't a man page.)
