Chapter 1 - Resource Manager / Resource Manager Reference

Writing to Resource Forks
The Resource Manager provides three procedures that you can use to write resource information to disk. The UpdateResFile procedure updates the resource map and resource data of a resource fork on disk so that it matches the corresponding resource map and resource data in memory. The WriteResource procedure updates the resource data of just one resource on disk. The SetResPurge procedure sets up
the Resource Manager's own purge-warning procedure so that the Memory Manager checks with the Resource Manager before purging a purgeable resource.
