Dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format data
Synopsis
apple_dump [-a] [FILE | DIR]
apple_dump -e FILE | DIR
apple_dump -f [FILE]
apple_dump -d [FILE]
Description
apple_dump dumps AppleSingle/AppleDouble format data.
It can dump various AppleSingle/AppleDouble data created by mailers, archivers, Mac OS X, Netatalk and so on.
With no FILE|DIR, or when FILE|DIR is '-', read standard input.
Options
- -a [FILE|DIR]
This is the default. Dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble data for FILE or DIR automatically. If FILE is not in AppleSingle/AppleDouble format, look for extended attributes, .AppleDouble/FILE and ._FILE. If DIR, look for extended attributes, DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent and ._DIR.
- -e FILE|DIR
Dump extended attributes 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
Note
There is no way to detect whether FinderInfo is FileInfo or DirInfo. By default, apple_dump examines whether the file, directory or parent directory is .AppleDouble, filename is ._*, filename is .Parent, and so on.
When setting option -e, -f or -d, assume FinderInfo and don't look for other data.
