FSpSetFInfo

You can use the FSpSetFInfo function to set the Finder information about a file
or directory.

FUNCTION FSpSetFInfo (spec: FSSpec; fndrInfo: FInfo): OSErr;

spec

An FSSpec record specifying the file or directory whose Finder information will be set.

fndrInfo

Information to be used by the Finder.

DESCRIPTION

The FSpSetFInfo function changes the Finder information in the volume catalog entry for the specified file or directory. FSpSetFInfo allows you to set only the original Finder information--the FInfo or DInfo records, not FXInfo or DXInfo.
