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 file 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 ofFILE
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 file.
