JBinHex

JBinHex is both a library and a command-line tool to decode files in the Apple Macintosh BinHex 4.0 format.

Current version: 0.5

Version history

  • 0.5 First released version

Limitations in this version

  • This version does not support segmented files such as used on comp.binaries.mac.* newsgroups
  • Documentation is limited
  • Command line tool has does not check wether the command line parameters are completely correct

Possible future features

  • Encoding of BinHex files
  • File-based interface that allows to switch between data and resource fork at any moment, instead of the predetermined order that the stream-based interface dictates

Command-line tool

The class name of the command-line tool is org.gjt.convert.binhex.DeBinHex

It accepts the following command line parameters:

  • Either -u <url> or -f <file> to specify the source BinHexed file. If neither of those options is present, DeBinHex reads stdin.
  • -d to decode the data fork. It will be put in the file with the name that came from the BinHex header.
  • -df <filename> to decode the data fork to the named file instead of the name that came from the BinHex header.
  • -r to decode the resource fork. It will be put in the file with the name that came from the BinHex header, with the extension ".resource" appended to it.
  • -rf <filename> to decode the resource fork to the named file instead of the name that came from the BinHex header.
  • Both -d/-df options and -r/-rf may be present at the same time. If none of these options is present, DeBinHex will decode the data fork as if the -d options was specified.
  • -h to only show the header of the BinHex file on stdout. The decoding options are ignored.
