NAME

     /usr/bin/SplitForks -- Divide a two-fork HFS file into AppleDouble format resource and data files.

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/bin/SplitForks [-s] [-v] file

DESCRIPTION

     SplitForks takes a Macintosh HFS or HFS Extended ("HFS+") two-fork file and converts it into AppleDouble format, with the data fork in one
     file and the resource fork and file system metadata in another.

     /usr/bin/SplitForks takes the following flags and arguments:

     [s]      Strip the resource fork from the original file.  The default is to leave the resource file in place after copying it to its Apple-
	      Double metadata file.

     [v]      Produce verbose diagnostics to standard output.

     file     The file to split.

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.

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.
