He is talking on file flags introduced at 4.4BSD, and they can be
referenced through st_flags of struct stat.  To set these flags, you
can use chflags(2) or fchflags(2).
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=chflags&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html>


I think supporting file flags is too *BSD specific to incorporate into
standard interpreter though.
