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 sys-tem system
     tem 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.
