New page

A separate file in a filesystem containing the [[ Apple resource fork ]] for a related data file, developed by Apple for A/UX and therefore compatible with other filesystems including those mounted remotely. They are heavily used under [[ Mac OS X ]].

This file is named the same as the data file, with "<code>._</code>" prepended to the original name. These header files are automatically included in ZIP files under a hierarchy starting with "<code>__MACOSX</code>" when utilizing the Finder's "Archive as..." function.
