Storage type $5 is used by the ProDOS FST in GS/OS to store extended files. The key block of the file points to an extended key block entry. The extended key block entry contains mini-directory entries for both the data fork and resource fork of the file. The mini-entry for the data fork is at offset +000 of the extended key block, and the mini-entry for the resource fork is at offset +$100 (+256 decimal).
The format for mini-entries is as follows:
storage_type (+000) Byte The standard ProDOS storage
type for this fork of the file.
Note that for regular directory
entries, the storage type is the
high nibble of a byte that contains
the length of the filename as the
low nibble. In mini-entries, the
high nibble is reserved and must be
zero, and the storage type is
contained in the low nibble.
key_block (+001) Word The block number of the key
block of this fork. This value and
the value of storage_type combine to
determine how to find the data in
the file, as documented in the
ProDOS 8 Technical Reference Manual.
blocks_used (+003) Word The number of blocks used by
this fork of the file.
EOF (+005) 3 Bytes Three-byte value (least
significant byte stored first)
representing the end-of-file value
for this fork of the file.
Immediately following the mini-entry for the data fork may be up to two eighteen-byte entries, each with part of the HFS Finder information for this file. The first entry stores the first 16 bytes of the Finder information, and the second entry stores the second 16 bytes. The format is as follows:
entry_size (+008) Byte Size of this entry; must be 18 ($12).
entry_type (+009) Byte Type of this entry--1 for FInfo (first 16
bytes of Finder information), 2 for
xFInfo (second 16 bytes).
FInfo (+010) 16 Bytes First sixteen bytes of Finder Info.
entry_size (+026) Byte Size of this entry; must be 18 ($12).
entry_type (+027) Byte Type of this entry--1 for FInfo (first 16
bytes of Finder information), 2 for
xFInfo (second 16 bytes).
xFInfo (+028) 16 Bytes Second sixteen bytes of Finder Info.
Note: Although the ProDOS FST under GS/OS will only create both of the mini-entries, as described above, the ProDOS File System Manager (ProDOS FSM) for the Macintosh, which is part of the Apple IIe Card v2.0 software, may create only one of the entries, so you may find an entry_type of 2 at offset +009 in the block. If one of the entries is missing, it should be considered to be all zeroes.
All remaining bytes in the extended key block are reserved and must be zero.
