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/

Thank you! That should give me enough to go on. Especially since it
looks like Uli has already written the hard parts.
(The last time I worked with the file manager was under System 7,
believe it or not. It comes back, but slowly.)

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.
