No

I'll take your word for it because I was just guessing, but then why do the xattrs in the example I gave show a resource fork?



Apple's version of cp is aware of extended attributes.

Yes, but the manual doesn't say to what extent, nor anything about ACLs

Your original question didn't say anything about ACLs either.


To the OP -- I remember reading somewhere that xattr is written in
Python. You might find it useful or even be able to import it directly.

It uses a C extension, but I could import it if I wanted to re-invent
the wheel ;)


Isn't importing a module that's already written the exact opposite of re-inventing the wheel?
