Quickie shell command to find files with resource forks
Mac OS X — 30 Mar 2005 11:49 — 2604 days ago

This shell commands finds all files with resource forks in the current directory:

find . -type f -exec test -s {}/..namedfork/rsrc \; -print

I plan to get rid of all such files in my home directory so I can back it up using simple UNIX tools.

At a conference at the CERN, I remember Jordan Hubbard announcing that ressource forks would come back implemented as POSIX extentions.

If that's true, we will not get rid of them anytime soon.
I now use Lacie's Silverkeeper utility for backups.
