<p><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007bhidden_007d-directive-339"></a><a name="index-visibility-340"></a>This is one of the ELF visibility directives. The other two are
<code>.internal</code> (see <a href="Internal.html#Internal"><code>.internal</code></a>) and
<code>.protected</code> (see <a href="Protected.html#Protected"><code>.protected</code></a>).
<p>This directive overrides the named symbols default visibility (which is set by
their binding: local, global or weak). The directive sets the visibility to
<code>hidden</code> which means that the symbols are not visible to other components.
Such symbols are always considered to be <code>protected</code> as well.
