Mac OS X Panther for Unix Geeks

Description

Recombines the resource fork and HFS metadata split out into a separate file (named ._filename ) with the file's data fork (in a file named filename ), resulting in a single multi-forked file (named filename ) with HFS attributes. As such, this option works only on HFS and HFS+ volumes . It reverses the effect of running SplitForks .

FixupResourceForks does a recursive descent into the directory specified by pathname , working on every file within it.

Options/Usage

-nodelete

Prevents deletion of ._filename after recombination with filename .

-nosetinfo

Disables setting of HFS attributes on the recombined files.

-quiet

Suppresses printing the name of each recombined file to standard output.
