.TH BINHEX L "October 22, 1992"
|
|
.UC
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
binhex \- Hexifies a series of files
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B binhex
|
|
[
|
|
.B \- options
|
|
] [ files ]
|
|
.br
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I binhex
|
|
takes the files specified in
|
|
.I files
|
|
and hexifies them in BinHex 4.0 format on standard output
|
|
subject to the
|
|
.I options
|
|
specified.
|
|
If
|
|
.I files
|
|
also specifies directories they are followed recursively, and all files
|
|
found will be hexified.
|
|
If no
|
|
.I files
|
|
parameter is specified, binhex reads a MacBinary stream from standard
|
|
input and hexifies the files found; folder information is lost.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
In the absence of any options,
|
|
.I binhex
|
|
takes the specified files and silently hexifies them to BinHex 4.0
|
|
format, writing the result to standard output.
|
|
Directories named in
|
|
.I files
|
|
are followed recursively, all files found will be hexified.
|
|
Files are assumed to be in MacBinary format.
|
|
However, if the filename ends with .info the file is assumed to be
|
|
the info fork of a MacIntosh file split amongst more than one file.
|
|
In that case the files with .data and .rsrc extensions
|
|
are also read (if present).
|
|
Also, if the info fork is mentioned in the parameter list, the names
|
|
of data and resource forks can also be mentioned, but those will be
|
|
ignored (this is to allow wild-card expansion by the shell.)
|
|
Further, if some form of AppleShare is supported by the installed
|
|
program, and if the current directory, or one of the directories found
|
|
during recursive processing, is a directory in the format of the
|
|
supported version of AppleShare, those files will be handled according
|
|
to the properties of AppleShare.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-r
|
|
No intelligent file-processing is performed; all files named are assumed
|
|
to be plain resource files, and are hexified as if they were
|
|
MacIntosh resource files with
|
|
creator "RSED" and type "RSRC", unless another creator and/or type are
|
|
specified.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d
|
|
No intelligent file-processing is performed; all files named are assumed
|
|
to be plain data files, and are hexified as if they were
|
|
MacIntosh data files with
|
|
creator "MACA" and type "TEXT", unless another creator and/or type are
|
|
specified.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-u
|
|
As -d, but the codes for CR and LF are interchanged.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-U
|
|
Is a synonym for -u.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c creator
|
|
Defines the creator name to be used if one of the previous options is
|
|
specified.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-t type
|
|
Defines the type name to be used if one of the previous options is
|
|
specified.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-R
|
|
Do not use run-length encoding during the conversion.
|
|
This option may speed up the encoding a bit, but it is merely a
|
|
historical artifact.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-l
|
|
List every file and directory processed.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-i
|
|
Do not output files, give information only (implies -l.)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-q
|
|
Ask the user for every file/directory whether it should be visited
|
|
(implies -l.)
|
|
.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.
