Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

HFS+, HFS Plus, or Mac OS Extended are names for a file system developed by Apple Computer to replace their Hierarchical File System (HFS). In addition to being the default file system on modern Apple computers, HFS+ is one of two formats, FAT being the other, that are supported by the iPod hard-disk based music player. Unlike FAT, HFS+ supports UNIX style file permissions, which makes it useful, for serving and sharing files in a secured manner. As Apple Computer's devices and systems become increasingly ubiquitous, it becomes important that Linux fully support this format. This package provides tools to create and check HFS+ filesystems under Linux. The Linux kernel does not support writing to HFS+ journals, writing to a hfsplus partition is recommended only after disabling journaling; however, the kernel, as of version 2.6.16, supports case-sensitivity (also known as HFSX) commit.
