xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
6
<para>This is a list of files or directories that are not
7
visible but are accessible. The DOS 'hidden' attribute is applied
8
to any files or directories that match.</para>
10
<para>Each entry in the list must be separated by a '/',
11
which allows spaces to be included in the entry. '*'
12
and '?' can be used to specify multiple files or directories
13
as in DOS wildcards.</para>
15
<para>Each entry must be a Unix path, not a DOS path and must
16
not include the Unix directory separator '/'.</para>
18
<para>Note that the case sensitivity option is applicable
19
in hiding files.</para>
21
<para>Setting this parameter will affect the performance of Samba,
22
as it will be forced to check all files and directories for a match
23
as they are scanned.</para>
26
The example shown above is based on files that the Macintosh
27
SMB client (DAVE) available from <ulink url="http://www.thursby.com">
28
Thursby</ulink> creates for internal use, and also still hides
29
all files beginning with a dot.
