| | Resource fork - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The resource fork is sometimes used to store the metadata of a file, although it can also be used for storing the actual data, as was the case with font files in the classic Mac OSes. | | | These resources are then placed in a directory using a Unix filesystem along with the executable code and "raw data". | | | Early versions of the BeOS implemented a database within the filesystem, which could be used in a manner analogous to a resource fork. |

| | Data::MacResFile - Perl extension to read a Macintosh Resource fork |
| | Instead of a stream of bytes, data from a resource fork is retrieved in complete units when the operating system is given certain keys of information. | | | This is less useful than the open_fromhandle constructor, because most files that have a combined data and resource fork specify the offset at another point in the file. | | | The first is called the ``Data Fork'', which is a simple stream of bytes similar to Unix, MS-DOS, and Windows files. |

| | Macintosh File Forks |
| | The data fork contains what we generally call a file on the PC, that is the text created by a word processor, the pixels building a picture, etc. When transferring data files between Macintosh and PC, the data fork is generally the only part of interest (the major exception is font files, see below). | | | Against what is often said, even by knowledgeable persons, the resource fork doesn't contain the signature of Macintosh files (file type and file creator), which is stored in the disk catalog. | | | This explains why it can happen that a program, transferred through channels ignoring file forks and having lost its resource fork, can no longer be executed (error -39, meaning unexpected end of file). |

| | You find the actual data for whatever resource you are looking for by using its resource type and ID, or possibly name, to find it in the indices in the section of the resource fork called the Resource Map, which tells you at which byte number in the resource file the resource data record starts. | | | For instance, the length in bytes of the Resource Data Section according to the spec is contained in a 4-byte data value. | | | It is also possible to write to the resource fork, but you shouldn't do that with BinaryIO because altering the size or format of resource data will corrupt the file. |

| | The first task is to change, add, or remove resource data in the file's resource fork to match the resource map in memory. | | | However, GetMaxRe- sourceSize does not check the resource on disk; instead, it either checks the resource size in memory or, if the resource is not in memory, calculates its size, in bytes, on the basis of information in the resource map in memory. | | | The RGetResource function searches the resource maps in memory for the resource specified by the parameters $TYPE and $ID. The resource maps in memory, which represent all open resource forks, are arranged as a linked list. |

| | Most Resource Manager functions assume that the current resource file is the file on which they should operate or, in the case of a search, the file in which to begin the search. | | | Note that, although the file reference number for the data fork and the resource fork usually match, you should not assume that this is always the case. | | | The resource fork of a file is also called the resource file because, in some respects, you can treat it as if it were a separate file. |

| | But a resource doesn't have to be a part of a program in order to be used by that program. | | | When that file's resource fork is being manipulated (opened, written to, read from, or closed) by a program, programmers often refer to the fork itself as a file. | | | When the application opens the resource fork of a different resource file, the reference number of the newly opened file will be returned to the program. |

| | Zanka Software Forums / Is there any roadmap? |
| | For now, the only way to safely transfer files with resource forks is to encapsulate both forks into a single data fork (encoding them with Stuffit for example to make a.sit file). | | | On Macintosh, all files have a data fork, so they are at least compatible with other file systems. | | | If you try to store a file that contains a resource fork on any other file system (such as NTFS for WinNT/WinXP/Win2K, FAT32 on Win95/Win98, ext2/ext3/reiserfs/xfs on Linux, or HPFS) the resource fork will be lost because almost all file systems only store data forks. |

| | Since there is no resource fork to protect, there is no need to text encode the archive, since it is already a text file by nature, as are all PC files. | | | Since both of these formats have both resource and data forks, they are usually text encoded using BinHex (.hqx, binary hexadecimal). | | | In the end, Mac users can take most any PC document for which there is support on the Mac and use it as is. If that is not the case, most likely, there is a converter available for easily making the file usable. |
