Here is my code to write a resource fork for a given file.

NSString *dataPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"RSRC" ofType:@"PCSMAC"]; NSString *rsrcPath = [dataPath stringByAppendingString:@"/..namedfork/rsrc"];
                                NSData *data = [fm contentsAtPath:rsrcPath];
NSString *outPath = [nspath stringByAppendingString:@"/..namedfork/ rsrc"];
                                ok = [fm createFileAtPath:outPath contents:data 
attributes:nil];
                                if(!ok)
                                        NSLog(@"Resource fork not written for 
%@",nspath);


dataPath is the path to a file with a resource fork.
rsrcPath is the path to the resource fork

data does contain the resource fork data ... its size is equal to the size of the resource fork.

outPath is the path to a file to which I want to add the resource fork.



ok = [fm createFileAtPath:outPath contents:data attributes:nil]; returns NO.

My question is why is the resource fork not being written for outpath?

Is there a way to write a resource fork for a file at a path?

If you want to read/write individual resources, you’ll have to use the Carbon Resource Manager. However, if you want to read/write the resource map directly to/from the file, you can do that with NSFileManager by appending “/..namedfork/rsrc” to the end of the pathname.
