===============================================================================
|
|
|
|
General to-do items (aka bugs):
|
|
|
|
libhfs
|
|
|
|
* support HFS+ (aka Sequoia, Extended Format)
|
|
* don't allow reads from spared blocks
|
|
* further improve efficiency of b*-tree searches?
|
|
* concurrency considerations: opening same file multiple times;
|
|
performing directory manipulations on open files
|
|
* b*-tree record balancing?
|
|
* smarter block allocation algorithm
|
|
* volume full: hfs_write() should return bytes written < len, return -1
|
|
on next call?
|
|
* seek beyond end of file?
|
|
* touch directory timestamps on file updates?
|
|
* improve efficiency of bitmap operations
|
|
* improve efficiency of search operations
|
|
* CNID wrapping?
|
|
* bad block sparing by physical block
|
|
|
|
librsrc
|
|
|
|
* determine resource sizes without reading them
|
|
* support writability
|
|
|
|
hfsck
|
|
|
|
* modify libhfs to support low-level grubbing
|
|
|
|
command-line tools
|
|
|
|
* preserve timestamps (-p) for hcopy
|
|
* recursive hcopy (-r)
|
|
* allow hformat to create files and/or set size?
|
|
* write Linux utilities mkfs.hfs, fsck.hfs
|
|
* eliminate ftruncate()
|
|
* more flags for hdel (-i, -r, -f)
|
|
* glob :*:foo correctly
|
|
* glob hcopy destination HFS path?
|
|
* formalize hdisk.pl into the distribution
|
|
|
|
xhfs
|
|
|
|
* open arbitrary partitions
|
|
* rename volumes
|
|
* change file type/creator
|
|
* more support for other platforms (correct device defaults; df output)
|
|
* graphical partition map editor?
|
|
* recursive copy: map illegal directory name chars
|
|
|
|
copyin/copyout
|
|
|
|
* finish/fix timestamp preservation
|
|
* revisit buffer sizes
|
|
* remember src/dst filenames (for preserve/delete)
|
|
* allow name mangling to be optional
|
|
* don't unconditionally clobber
|
|
* delete incomplete files after failed transfers
|
|
* AppleSingle, Netatalk-/CAP-style AppleDouble?
|
|
|
|
Future wish-list:
|
|
|
|
* raw SCSI access for hideous platforms
|
|
* partitioning utility
|
|
* defragmenting utility
|
|
|
|
Acknowledged limitations:
|
|
|
|
* null characters (ASCII 0x00) not supported in filenames
|
|
* partition maps not managed with A/UX support
|
