test and .test in same directory

i am using solaris 5.10. i can create two different files "test" and ".test" in the same directory. now suppose i want to change the attribute of the hidden file .test to visible is it possible???

since "." is just an attribute to mark a file hidden why is unix allows creation of "file" and ".file" in the same directory

NAME
pg_test_fsync - determine fastest wal_sync_method for PostgreSQL SYNOPSIS
pg_test_fsync [option...] DESCRIPTION
pg_test_fsync is intended to give you a reasonable idea of what the fastest wal_sync_method is on your specific system, as well as supplying diagnostic information in the event of an identified I/O problem. However, differences shown by pg_test_fsync might not make any difference in real database throughput, especially since many database servers are not speed-limited by their transaction logs. OPTIONS
pg_test_fsync accepts the following command-line options: -f, --filename Specifies the file name to write test data in. This file should be in the same file system that the pg_xlog directory is or will be placed in. (pg_xlog contains the WAL files.) The default is pg_test_fsync.out in the current directory. -s, --secs-per-test Specifies the number of seconds for each test. The more time per test, the greater the test's accuracy, but the longer it takes to run. The default is 2 seconds, which allows the program to complete in about 30 seconds. -V, --version Print the pg_test_fsync version and exit. -?, --help Show help about pg_test_fsync command line arguments, and exit.
