Absolutely nothing (for completeness, no hard links). Adding the '@' flag shows ~macports's parent (/opt/local/var/macports) has extended attribute info "com.apple.FinderInfo 32" fwiw, but that's set in 10.13 as well, so that's probably an infrared herring. -- Dr Martin J Carter Computer System Administrator Astrophysics, University of Oxford
