DOT_CLEAN(1) BSD General Commands Manual DOT_CLEAN(1)NAME
dot_clean -- Merge ._* files with corresponding native files.
SYNOPSIS
dot_clean [-fmnsv] [--keep=[mostrecent|dotbar|native]] [dir ...]
DESCRIPTION
For each dir, dot_clean recursively merges all ._* files with their corresponding native files according to the rules specified with the
given arguments. By default, if there is an attribute on the native file that is also present in the ._ file, the most recent attribute will
be used.
If no operands are given, a usage message is output. If more than one directory is given, directories are merged in the order in which they
are specified.
OPTIONS -f Flat merge. Do not recursively merge all directories in the given dir. This is off by default.
-h Help. Prints verbose usage message.
-m Always delete dot underbar files.
-n Delete dot underbar file if there is no matching native file.
-s Follow symbolic links. This will follow symbolic dot underbar files when they are found.
-v Print verbose output.
--keep=mostrecent
The default option. If an attribute is associated with a data fork, use that. Otherwise, use information stored in the AppleDouble
file. Note that the native fork's data is preferred even if the data in the AppleDouble file is newer.
--keep=dotbar
Always use information stored in the AppleDouble file, replacing any extended attributes associated with the native file.
--keep=native
Always use the information associated with the data fork, ignoring any AppleDouble files.
EXAMPLES
The following is how to do an dot_clean merge on the mounted volume test, always using the dot underbar information.
dot_clean --keep=dotbar /Volumes/test
DIAGNOSTICS
The dot_clean utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
BUGS
None known.

FIXUPRESOURCEFORKS(1) BSD General Commands Manual FIXUPRESOURCEFORKS(1)NAME
/System/Library/CoreServices/FixupResourceForks -- Join AppleDouble files into two-fork HFS resource files.
SYNOPSIS
/System/Library/CoreServices/FixupResourceForks [-q[uiet]] [-nosetinfo] [-nodelete] path ...
DESCRIPTION
FixupResourceForks is to SplitForks what matter is to antimatter. Given one or more directories that reside on an HFS or Extended HFS
("HFS+") volume, it scans those directories for AppleDouble files and, if found, rejoins them into two-fork resource files. The resource
fork data can then be accessed with normal Carbon Resource Manager calls, be processed with DeRez(1), and accessed from the POSIX file system
interface through the ..namedfork/rsrc path mechanism.
/System/Library/CoreServices/FixupResourceForks takes the following flags and arguments:
-q[uiet]
Suppress verbose diagnostics to standard output.
-nosetinfo
Do not set file system metadata (type, creator, flags, permissions) from the data in the AppleDouble file.
-nodelete
Leave the AppleDouble files in the directory after copying their resource data into the resource fork of the main file.
path ...
One or more directory paths. Note that FixupResourceForks only acts on entire directories, not in individual files.
FILES
foo Data fork of file 'foo'
NOTES
SplitForks will fail with error 2 if the designated file is not on an HFS or Extended HFS file system volume.

Hi Linux Experts,
I am using RHEL 6.4, on checking I identified some files ends with the file attribute like dot (.) at the end. Whereas, I checked with the same level of other servers and I don't identify dot(.) at the end of file attribute. Why is it so? is there any meaning for it.
