Heck - at this point, resource forks are exposed as a &quot;com.apple.ResourceFork&quot; xattr with a large binary value. The primary remaining visible quirk is that they&#x27;re also accessible via a magic path (&quot;file&#x2F;..namedFork&#x2F;rsrc&quot;) -- the fact that the file system has a special way of storing them is irrelevent to userspace.
