I don't believe that NSFileManager knows about resource files, either in the
resource or data fork.
You can use Resource Manager routines FSCreateResourceFile() or
FSCreateResourceFork() to create a brand-new resource file or add a resource
fork to an existing file, respectively.
FSRef fileRef;
if (CFURLGetFSRef((CFURLRef)[NSURL fileURLWithPath:resourceFilePath], &fileRef))
{
HFSUniStr255 resourceForkName;
FSGetResourceForkName(&resourceForkName);
if (FSCreateResourceFork(&fileRef, resourceForkName.length,
resourceForkName.unicode, 0) == noErr)
{
ResFileRefNum refNum;
if (FSOpenResourceFile(fileRef, resourceForkName.length,
resourceForkName.unicode, fsRdWrPerm, &refNum) == noErr)
{
// write resources here...
CloseResFile(refNum);
return YES;
}
}
}
return NO;
Note that the above is creating a resource file in the [classic] resource fork,
but unless your files contain existing non-resource data in the data fork, it
might be better to create a data fork-based resource file and write resources
there.
