Gets the attributes of a resource fork.

SInt16 GetResFileAttrs (
    SInt16 refNum
);

refNum

A file reference number for the resource fork whose attributes you want to get. Specify 0 in this parameter to get the attributes of the System file’s resource fork.

function result

The attributes of the file’s resource fork. If there’s no open resource fork for the given file reference number, the function does nothing, and the ResError function returns the result code resFNotFound. Like individual resources, resource forks have attributes that are specified by bits in the low-order byte of a word. 0

DISCUSSION

The Resource Manager sets the mapChanged attribute for the resource fork when you call the ChangedResource, the AddResource, or the RemoveResource function.
