Our iPhone UI would like to display some of the meta-data that is
being stored in the xattrs (comments, etc). Thus, I was hoping there
was an API for taking that blob of data from Entry 9 and turning it
back into something useful (ala getxattrs).
AFAICT copyfile is available on iPhone OS. You could just copyfile
the AppleDouble to a temporary file and then the attributes from that.
If there is no API for that, is the code that writes Entry 9 posted
in the Darwin repository? I would not be opposed to writing some
code to extract what we need if I knew the data format...
I believe that the 10.5 and later kernel have this code. However, if
you can get copyfile to work I'd definitely recommend that; the fewer
copies of this AppleDouble malarkey in existence the better!
