As far as I know, there is no Cocoa way to specifically check for the presence of a resource fork. I'm not sure how quick FSIterateForks is, but you may be able to get by using FSGetCatalogInfo() and asking for kFSCatInfoRsrcSizes in the whichInfo field. If you're enumerating a directory, you can also get a speed boost by using an FSIterator and the Bulk variation of this function. A Cocoa implementation of this latter approach can be found here (UKDirectoryEnumerator): http://www.zathras.de/angelweb/sourcecode.htm

Hi, all.

I want to write a file scanner that will tell me which of my files have resource forks. The File Manager APIs give me FSIterateForks, which should work. Is this the most cocoa-friendly way to accomplish this task?

The rsync Apple ships has a critical bug, in that it improperly sets the modified time to 'now' if run with extended attributes/ resource preservation. I want a way to know which files need special handling.

I am open to command line tools, or other APIs, if they will cause me less grief in the long run.
