Create AppleDouble files with NodeJS – useful to preserve OS X extended attributes in zip files or on non-HFS+ volumes
Create files that store OS X extended attributes (xattrs) in seperate files.
These files are used on file systems other than HFS+ and in ZIP files. In ZIP
files they are named __MACOSX/._<file name>.
The format of xattr files is the legacy AppleDouble format, that contains a "Finder Info" resource fork, which in turn contains extended attributes. OS X ignores all other information in the AppleDouble file.
npm install xattr-file
var xattr = require("xattr-file");
var buffer = xattr.create({
"com.example.Attribute": "my data"
});
/* Use buffer in zip file, or write to __MACOSX/._file. */
