+.SH INTRODUCTION
+.PP
+The described routines are used to implement the Macintosh specific
+\fBresource\fR command and the Mac specific notifier.. They manipulate
+or use Macintosh resources and provide administration for open
+resource file references.
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBTcl_MacEvalResource\fR extends the \fBsource\fR command to
+Macintosh resources. It sources Tcl code from a Text resource.
+Currently only sources the resource by name, file IDs may be supported
+at a later date.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_MacConvertTextResource\fR converts a TEXT resource into a Tcl
+suitable string. It mallocs the returned memory, converts ``\\r'' to
+``\\n'', and appends a null. The caller has the responsibility for
+freeing the memory.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_MacFindResource\fR provides a higher level interface for
+loading resources. It is used by \fBresource read\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_NewOSTypeObj\fR is used to create a new resource name type
+object. The object type is "ostype".
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetOSTypeObj\fR modifies an object to be a resource type and to
+have the specified long value.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetOSTypeFromObj\fR attempts to return an int from the Tcl
+object "objPtr". If the object is not already an int, an attempt will
+be made to convert it to one.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_MacSetEventProc\fR sets the event handling procedure for the
+application. This function will be passed all incoming Mac events.
+This function usually controls the console or some other entity like
+Tk.
+
+.SH RESOURCE TYPES
+.PP
+Resource types are 4-byte values used by the macintosh resource
+facility to tag parts of the resource fork in a file so that the OS
+knows how to handle them. As all 4 bytes are restricted to printable
+characters such a type can be interpreted as a 4 character string too.

+.SH NAME
+resource \- Manipulate Macintosh resources
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBresource \fIoption\fR ?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBresource\fR command provides some generic operations for
+dealing with Macintosh resources. This command is only supported on
+the Macintosh platform. Each Macintosh file consists of two
+\fIforks\fR: a \fIdata\fR fork and a \fIresource\fR fork. You use the
+normal open, puts, close, etc. commands to manipulate the data fork.
+You must use this command, however, to interact with the resource
+fork. \fIOption\fR indicates what resource command to perform. Any
+unique abbreviation for \fIoption\fR is acceptable. The valid options
+are:
+.TP
+\fBresource close \fIrsrcRef\fR
+Closes the given resource reference (obtained from \fBresource
+open\fR). Resources from that resource file will no longer be
+available.
+.TP
+\fBresource delete\fR ?\fIoptions\fR? \fIresourceType\fR
+This command will delete the resource specified by \fIoptions\fR and
+type \fIresourceType\fR (see RESOURCE TYPES below). The options
+give you several ways to specify the resource to be deleted.
+.RS
+.TP
+\fB\-id\fR \fIresourceId\fR
+If the \fB-id\fR option is given the id \fIresourceId\fR (see RESOURCE
+IDS below) is used to specify the resource to be deleted. The id must
+be a number - to specify a name use the \fB\-name\fR option.
+.TP
+\fB\-name\fR \fIresourceName\fR
+If \fB-name\fR is specified, the resource named
+\fIresourceName\fR will be deleted. If the \fB-id\fR is also
+provided, then there must be a resource with BOTH this name and
+this id. If no name is provided, then the id will be used regardless
+of the name of the actual resource.
+.TP
+\fB\-file\fR \fIresourceRef\fR
+If the \fB-file\fR option is specified then the resource will be
+deleted from the file pointed to by \fIresourceRef\fR. Otherwise the
+first resource with the given \fIresourceName\fR and or
+\fIresourceId\fR which is found on the resource file path will be
+deleted. To inspect the file path, use the \fIresource files\fR command.
+.RE
+.TP
+\fBresource files ?\fIresourceRef\fR?
+If \fIresourceRef\fRis not provided, this command returns a Tcl list
+of the resource references for all the currently open resource files.
+The list is in the normal Macintosh search order for resources. If
+\fIresourceRef\fR is specified, the command will
+return the path to the file whose resource fork is represented by that
+token.
+.TP
+\fBresource list \fIresourceType\fR ?\fIresourceRef\fR?
+List all of the resources ids of type \fIresourceType\fR (see RESOURCE
+TYPES below). If \fIresourceRef\fR is specified then the command will
+limit the search to that particular resource file. Otherwise, all
+resource files currently opened by the application will be searched.
+A Tcl list of either the resource name's or resource id's of the found
+resources will be returned. See the RESOURCE IDS section below for
+more details about what a resource id is.
+.TP
+\fBresource open \fIfileName\fR ?\fIaccess\fR?
+Open the resource for the file \fIfileName\fR. Standard file access
+permissions may also be specified (see the manual entry for \fBopen\fR
+for details). A resource reference (\fIresourceRef\fR) is returned
+that can be used by the other resource commands. An error can occur
+if the file doesn't exist or the file does not have a resource fork.
+However, if you open the file with write permissions the file and/or
+resource fork will be created instead of generating an error.
+.TP
+\fBresource read \fIresourceType\fR \fIresourceId\fR ?\fIresourceRef\fR?
+Read the entire resource of type \fIresourceType\fR (see RESOURCE
+TYPES below) and the name or id of \fIresourceId\fR (see RESOURCE IDS
+below) into memory and return the result. If \fIresourceRef\fR is
+specified we limit our search to that resource file, otherwise we
+search all open resource forks in the application. It is important to
+note that most Macintosh resource use a binary format and the data
+returned from this command may have embedded NULLs or other non-ASCII
+data.
+.TP
+\fBresource types ?\fIresourceRef\fR?
+This command returns a Tcl list of all resource types (see RESOURCE
+TYPES below) found in the resource file pointed to by
+\fIresourceRef\fR. If \fIresourceRef\fR is not specified it will
+return all the resource types found in every resource file currently
+opened by the application.
+.TP
+\fBresource write\fR ?\fIoptions\fR? \fIresourceType\fR \fIdata\fR
+This command will write the passed in \fIdata\fR as a new resource of
+type \fIresourceType\fR (see RESOURCE TYPES below). Several options
+are available that describe where and how the resource is stored.
+.RS
+.TP
+\fB\-id\fR \fIresourceId\fR
+If the \fB-id\fR option is given the id \fIresourceId\fR (see RESOURCE
+IDS below) is used for the new resource, otherwise a unique id will be
+generated that will not conflict with any existing resource. However,
+the id must be a number - to specify a name use the \fB\-name\fR option.
+.TP
+\fB\-name\fR \fIresourceName\fR
+If \fB-name\fR is specified the resource will be named
+\fIresourceName\fR, otherwise it will have the empty string as the
+name.
+.TP
+\fB\-file\fR \fIresourceRef\fR
+If the \fB-file\fR option is specified then the resource will be
+written in the file pointed to by \fIresourceRef\fR, otherwise the
+most recently open resource will be used.
+.TP
+\fB\-force\fR
+If the target resource already exists, then by default Tcl will not
+overwrite it, but raise an error instead. Use the -force flag to
+force overwriting the extant resource.
+.RE
+
+.SH "RESOURCE TYPES"
+Resource types are defined as a four character string that is then
+mapped to an underlying id. For example, \fBTEXT\fR refers to the
+Macintosh resource type for text. The type \fBSTR#\fR is a list of
+counted strings. All Macintosh resources must be of some type. See
+Macintosh documentation for a more complete list of resource types
+that are commonly used.
+
+.SH "RESOURCE IDS"
+For this command the notion of a resource id actually refers to two
+ideas in Macintosh resources. Every place you can use a resource Id
+you can use either the resource name or a resource number. Names are
+always searched or returned in preference to numbers. For example,
+the \fBresource list\fR command will return names if they exist or
+numbers if the name is NULL.
+

+The resource command is only available on Macintosh.
