appledouble

Generates appledouble files on any filesystem using copyfile.

This can be useful when you are working with programs that don't support extended attrubutes or filesystems/network shares that stop finder from automatically creating appledouble files while still allowing appledouble files to be manually uploaded.

! This program uses Apple's copyfile library and thus should only function on macOS.
