TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------

I want to write a driver to allow the CD-ROM drive on my UNIX machine
to read Macintosh HFS CDs. Is there any Apple documentation that
describes HFS from the programmer's perspective?

DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------

The detailed information of Macintosh HFS (Hierarchical File System) is
described in "Inside Macintosh, Volume IV," pages 89 - 212 (The File
Manager).

The following Macintosh Technical Notes relating to HFS might be useful:

TN 44 - HFS Compatibility
TN 66 - Determine Which File System Is Active
TN 68 - Searching All Directories on an HFS Volume
TN 77 - HFS Ruminations

You can request the Macintosh Technical Notes from APDA.

Also, the "Technical Introduction to the Macintosh Family" documentation
page 155 has information on the overview of HFS.
