Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hidden files in Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux and macOS, are typically those whose filenames begin with a dot ('.'). This convention signals to the system and many applications that the file is not to be displayed by default when listing directory contents, although it can be revealed through specific commands or options (e.g., 'ls -a'). The other options do not accurately describe what makes a file hidden.
