Thanks for your comments.
Yes,i need to improve a lot on my coding skills,
i'll surely learn and implement it soon.
After hiding a file,i executed fsck program.
fsck said :
Unattached inode 6932386
Connect to /lost+found?
i typed 'yes',the inode is placed under /lost+found directory.
Now i tried to run exthide to unhide the file.The file is placed in its directory.
yes,the hidden files are exposed during fsck.
i don't think exthide will crash the harddisk.
I agree exthide makes the standard file system into dirty,
but i don't to think exthide is a dangerous program,
as long as user hides minimum number of files with it.
[I may be wrong here - please correct me if i'm wrong.]
Thanks once again for your comments.
Thanks,

This is a dangerous program; if a full fsck is run on the filesystem,
your "hidden files" will be erased.
The code quality could defintely be improved, in terms of indentation
style, #including the correct header files for portability, etc.
