apple_dump is a perl script to dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format data.

This script can dump various AppleSingle/AppleDouble data created by mailer, archiver, Mac OS X, Netatalk and so on.

With no FILE|DIR, or when FILE|DIR is '-', read standard input.

-a [FILE|DIR]

This is default. Dump a AppleSingle/AppleDouble data for FILE or DIR automatically. If FILE is not AppleSingle/AppleDouble format, look for extended attribute, .AppleDouble/FILE and ._FILE. If DIR, look for extended attribute, DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent and ._DIR.

-e FILE|DIR

Dump extended attribute of FILE or DIR.

-f [FILE]

Dump FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be FileInfo.

-d [FILE]

Dump FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be DirInfo.

-h,  -help,  --help

Display the help and exit

-v,  -version,  --version

Show version and exit

There is no way to detect whether FinderInfo is FileInfo or DirInfo. By default, apple_dump examines whether file or directory, a parent directory is .AppleDouble, filename is ._*, filename is .Parent, and so on.

If setting option -e, -f or -d, assume FinderInfo and doesn't look for another data.
