I just tried it with Shark, and it appears not to be using the

Apple (as far as I can tell) getdirentriesattr API, which actually
does seem to have a man page now, which says that it doesn't work on
all volume formats (which means that without further testing, I
don't even know if it would work on non-HFS+ disks), so it's not a
particularly good idea to use it.
You can, of course, use getattrlist() to *test* whether
getdirentriesattr() will work in advance, and then use something else
if it doesn't. Which is what Carbon does, in fact.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
