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.
-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|DIRDump 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, --helpDisplay the help and exit
-v, -version, --versionShow version and exit
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.
