FixupResourceForks

Synopsis

FixupResourceForks [-nodelete] [-nosetinfo] [-q[uiet]] pathname...

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 multiforked file (named filename) with HFS attributes. As such, this only works 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

-nodelete

Prevent deletion of ._filename after recombination with filename.

-nosetinfo

Disable setting of HFS attributes on the recombined files.

-quiet

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