Once you mount the HFS filesystem on linux you can actually get the resource 
fork too by doing:

ls /hfsmnt/filename
ls /hfsmnt/filename/rsrc

So if you need the resource fork, it can actually be accessed if you
know about the special /rsrc option (so essentially pretend the file is
a directory with a file inside called rsrc).

It won't show in ls that /rsrc exists since afer all the file is a file,
not a directory.

If a file has no resource fork, then you get an error if you try to
access /rsrc.
