Decoding xattrs in an AppleDouble file

Subject: Decoding xattrs in an AppleDouble file

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction...

I'm writing some code to decode AppleDouble (._) files. It looks like Entry 9 (Finder Info) has been expanded and contains some sort of raw xattr data. Looking at a hex dump it appears to be a mixture of binary data and UTF-16 text.

What I can't seem to find is what APIs can be used to take that binary xattr data and either lookup attributes by name or restore the data back to a file such that I could then use the normal BSD getxattr calls.

Thanks,
Dave
