Hello,

The technical notes for HFS+ pg. 26 describes two fields userInfo and finderInfo of the structure HFSPlusCatalogFile as " This field contains information used by the Mac OS Finder. Its format is not part of the HFS Plus Specifications."

Can anybody who is familiar with the specifications please tell me if a third party HFS-generating application has to set these fields to 0 assuming them to be 'reserved' or what values exactly these should correctly take on?

I'm relatively new to the Specs and would be grateful for some professional advice from the experts who work with the specs everyday.

Regards,

Nandini Hengen
