macunpack - Macintosh file de-archiver
SYNOPSIS
macunpack [ - options ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
macunpack takes the Macintosh MacBinary archive specified
in file (or standard input if none is specified) and
extracts the files it contains subject to the options
specified. The program will also accept the data fork of
the archive for some kinds of archive as standard input.
OPTIONS
In the absence of any options, macunpack takes the speci
fied archive and silently extracts the file(s) it contains
into MacBinary format, giving the output files ".bin"
extensions and placing them in the current working direc
tory. Subdirectories are created for embedded folders.
-3 Write files in fork format (.info, .data and .rsrc
files.)
-f As -3, but empty data and rsrc files are not cre
ated.
-r Write resource forks only (.rsrc files.)
-d Write data forks only (.data files.)
-u As -d, but the codes for CR and LF are inter
changed, the filename extension is .text.
-U As -u, but there is no filename extension.
-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.
-s Write extracted files to standard output in MacBi
nary format.
-l List every file extracted (and every direc
tory/folder created etc.)
-v Like -l, but more verbose (implies -l.)
-i Do not extract, give information only (implies -l.)
-q Ask the user for every file/folder whether it
should be extracted (implies -l.)
-V Gives the patchlevel of the program, and other
program quits immediately.
-H Give short information about the options. Other
options are ignored and the program quits immedi
ately.
BUGS
As this is a beta release, there may still be some prob
lems. Archives that are password protected and multi-file
archives are not dealt with.
