Also note that Linux has only one immutable flag, where FreeBSD has
two.  "schg" is the system-immutable flag, settable only by root, and
"uchg" is the user-immutable flag, which the file owner can set.  From
a C program, just use the stat() syscall, and examine the st_flags
field.  More info in the chflags manpage.
