Hello,
I've noticed that tar is able to store files' metadata and in order
to preserve it, it adds ._FILENAME file that appears to store
FileInfo and file's resource fork if there's one. Anyone knows if
this process is somewhere documented including the information it
stores beyond the raw resource fork?
My app uses libtar and when I extract everything, I need to
recombine ._files back into their owners. I have written something
that appears to work but would like to be sure I restored
everything I had to.
Thanks,
Tomas
