fs-mac.so
Shared object that supports Apple Macintosh HFS and HFS Plus (QNX Neutrino)
Syntax:
driver … mac mac_options… &
Runs on:
QNX Neutrino
Options:
The driver is any of the devb-* drivers, and mac_options is one or more of the following, separated by commas:
- lnk=lnk_mode
- Set the handling of HFS+ symbolic links. The options are:
ignore— treat a symlink as a regular file, but remove any execute permissions.all— if a segment of a path is a symlink, replace the segment with the symlink's content (the default).
In addition, you can specify any of the filesystem options described for io-blk.so.
Description:
The fs-mac.so shared object provides read-only support for Apple HFS (Hierarchical File System) and HFS Plus. It's automatically loaded by the devb-* drivers when mounting an Apple filesystem.
The slash (/) character (which is valid in file names on the Mac
but not in POSIX) is swapped with the colon (:) (which is the Mac path separator).
For example, an HFS file called 29/1/2009
will get shown to ls as 29:1:2009, and when opened
with that name will internally match back to the 29/1/2009 on-disk name.
The fs-mac.so shared object doesn't support access to the resource fork or hard links.
