macRes: Tools for reading Mac resource forks
############################################
.. currentmodule:: fontTools.misc.macRes
.. rubric:: Overview:
:heading-level: 2
Classic Mac OS files are made up of two parts - the "data fork" which
contains the file contents proper, and the "resource fork" which
contains a number of structured data items called "resources". Some
fonts, such as Mac "font suitcases" and Type 1 LWFN fonts, still use
the resource fork for this kind of structured data, and so to read
them, fontTools needs to have access to resource forks.
The Inside Macintosh volume `More Macintosh Toolbox
<https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/mac/pdf/MoreMacintoshToolbox.pdf#page=34>`_
explains the structure of resource and data forks.
