===============================================================================
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
