The Folder Descriptor Structure

Folder Descriptor Flag Constants

NEW WITH MAC OS 8

These flags allow you to specify whether a folder is created during startup, if the name of the folder is locked when the folder is created, and if the folder created is invisible. Use these in the flags field of the folder descriptor structure. All other flag bits are reserved for future use by Apple Computer, Inc.

Set any combination of the following bits:

enum {
   kCreateFolderAtBoot      = 0x00000002,
   kFolderCreatedInvisible  = 0x00000004,
   kFolderCreatedNameLocked = 0x00000008
};
typedef UInt32 FolderDescFlags;

Constant descriptions

Folder created at boot if needed.
