FixupResourceForks

Synopsis

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

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.
