.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
In the absence of any options,
|
||
|
.I frommac
|
||
|
receives a single file and stores it
|
||
|
in MacBinary format, giving the output file ".bin" extensions and
|
||
|
placing it in the current working directory.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-3
|
||
|
Write files in fork format (.info, .data and .rsrc files.)
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-f
|
||
|
As -3, but empty data and rsrc files are not created.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-r
|
||
|
Write resource forks only (.rsrc files.)
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-d
|
||
|
Write data forks only (.data files.)
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-u
|
||
|
As -d, but the codes for CR and LF are interchanged, the filename extension
|
||
|
is .text.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-U
|
||
|
As -u, but there is no filename extension.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-a
|
||
|
Write files in AppleShare format.
|
||
|
This option is only valid if the program is compiled with support
|
||
|
for some form of AppleShare.
|
||
|
The current directory must be a valid AppleShare folder.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-s
|
||
|
Write received files to standard output in MacBinary format.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-l
|
||
|
List every file received.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-m
|
||
|
Receive multiple files.
|
||
|
Entering ^X (CNTRL-X) after the last file will terminate the program.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-x
|
||
|
Use the XMODEM protocol for transmission.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-y
|
||
|
Use the YMODEM protocol for transmission (not yet supported.)
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-z
|
||
|
Use the ZMODEM protocol for transmission (not yet supported.)
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-o
|
||
|
Use the pre-beta version of XMODEM.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-T
|
||
|
Allow for time-out detection during the protocol.
|
||
|
Normally you will not need this option because on occasion, when network
|
||
|
delays do occur, time-out detection interferes with a good transmission.
|
||
|
Also, when for some reason the connection is broken the program will
|
||
|
normally receive a hang-up signal and terminate.
|
||
|
However, in some situations it might be necessary to early detect time-outs
|
||
|
(because of communication loss or whatever, without loss of connection).
|
||
|
You should check whether use of this option has profits in your situation
|
||
|
or not.
|
||
|
Normally when transmission errors did occur entering a number of times
|
||
|
^X (CNTRL-X) will gracefully terminate the program.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-V
|
||
|
Gives the patchlevel of the program, and other information.
|
||
|
Other options are ignored and the program quits immediately.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-H
|
||
|
Give short information about the options.
|
||
|
Other options are ignored and the program quits immediately.
