I've noticed that tar is able to store files' metadata and in order to preserve it, it adds ._FILENAME file that appears to store FileInfo and file's resource fork if there's one. Anyone knows if this process is somewhere documented including the information it stores beyond the raw resource fork? My app uses libtar and when I extract everything, I need to recombine ._files back into their owners. I have written something that appears to work but would like to be sure I restored everything I had to. You might try the book Mac OS X Tiger for Unix Geeks (ISBN 0-596-00912-7), from Oreilly. It appears to contain some material on this subject. ------------------------------------- This sig is dedicated to the advancement of Nuclear Power Tommy Nordgren tommy.nordgren@chello.se This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
