# fileSystemFlags

Flags that define an item’s on-disk properties and its appearance in the user interface.

```
optional var fileSystemFlags: NSFileProviderFileSystemFlags { get }
```

## Discussion

The flags define the on-disk properties of the item. The system modifies the item’s appearance based on these flags.
