.TH HEXBIN L "October 22, 1992"
|
|
.UC
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
hexbin \- Macintosh file de-binhexer
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B hexbin
|
|
[
|
|
.B \- options
|
|
] [ files ]
|
|
.br
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I hexbin
|
|
takes the text files specified in
|
|
.I files
|
|
(or standard input if none is specified) and converts them
|
|
subject to the
|
|
.I options
|
|
specified.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
In the absence of any options,
|
|
.I hexbin
|
|
takes the specified files and silently converts them
|
|
into MacBinary format, giving the output files ".bin" extensions and
|
|
placing them 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 extracted files to standard output in MacBinary format.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-l
|
|
List every file extracted (and every directory/folder created etc.)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
Like -l, but more verbose.
|
|
When this option is specified all lines skipped because they do not
|
|
belong to the hexified format are listed (implies -l.)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-i
|
|
Do not convert, give information only (implies -l.)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c
|
|
Do not check whether the hexified lines have equal size.
|
|
Normally the hexifiers gives text files with equal length line size,
|
|
hexbin uses this in its heuristics to determine whether a line must
|
|
be skipped.
|
|
There are however hexified files that do not conform to that pattern.
|
|
If this option is specified hexbin will in general be unable to detect
|
|
whether a line is garbage or not, so you have to remove the garbage by
|
|
hand.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-n name
|
|
Gives the Unix base file name for the converted files.
|
|
For files hexified with BinHex 4.0 or compatible hexifiers this flag
|
|
is not needed; hexbin will determine the Unix file name based on the
|
|
Mac file name.
|
|
For files in dl, hex or hcx format this parameter may be needed as
|
|
these formats do not include the Mac filename.
|
|
Normally hexbin will in those cases base the Unix file name on the
|
|
text file name, but that can be overruled with this parameter.
|
|
.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.
|
|

|
