By using chmod() I can set 'read-only' -file attribute like this:

  chmod ( "myfile", S_IWUSR | S_IRUSR );

I haven't found S_I* symbol for 'hidden' and 'system' -attributes. 
Is there any standard (or any common) function or way in C to 
set these -file attributes? I've found _chmod() in djgpp, but is there
a more common function for this? The purpose would be to have the
source compiled in various compilers.

Or are these attributes supported only under MS platforms?

How this is done in C++?
