OS X Invisible Bit

via Daring Fireball,

The invisible bit is metadata. In the same way that every file and folder has metadata such as created and modified dates, it has a boolean “invisible” bit. Files marked invisible are still readable and writable, they just don’t show up in the Finder or in Open and Save dialogs.

John Gruber also lists various methods for manipulating the invisible bit.
