A whiteout files are files with .wh.* prefix that indicate a path that should not be present in upper layers. When a file inherited from a parent layer is removed a special file with name .wh.FILE (where FILE is the name of the removed file) is generated. Similarly, when a new folder is created a special file .wh..wh..opq is generated inside this folder to indicate that all siblings from previous layers are hidden.
