Re: HFS or HFS+? That is the statfs question



You could use pathconf(2) and the _PC_NAME_MAX selector:
	standard HFS returns 31
	HFS Plus returns 255

Alternatively you could use getattrlist(2) and ask for the ATTR_VOL_SIGNATURE attribute:
standard HFS returns 0x4244 ('BD')
HFS Plus returns 0x482B ('H+')

With the statfs API you can know the kind of File System a file (or path) lives on.

The problem is that this API returns "hfs" for an HFS+ (journalized should I add) volume.

Is there a quick way to know this is actually a HFS+ File System (typical block size?).
