Partition type can only be used when creating a partition and e.g. should not be selectable in a "change partition type" user interface (e.g. 'dos' type 0x05, 0x0f and 0x85 for extended partitions).
Partition type indicates the partition is hidden (e.g. 'dos' type 0x1b "Hidden W95 FAT32"). Note that this is not the same as user-toggleable attributs/flags for a partition.
No flags set.
Partition type is used for RAID/LVM or similar.
Partition type is used for swap.
Partition type indicates the partition is part of the system / bootloader (e.g. 'dos' types 0xee, 0xff, 'gpt' types for 'EFI System partition' and 'BIOS Boot partition').
