NAME¶
hpcopy — copy files from an HFS+ volume
SYNOPSIS¶
hpcopy [
-m |
-b |
-t |
-r |
-a ]
source-path ...
target-path
Description¶
hpcopy copies files and directories from an HFS+ volume. If multiple
files are to be copied, the target path must be a directory.
Since Macintosh files contain two forks, which are not representably in Unix
file systems, copies use one of several translation modes:
- -m
- Mac Binary II is a format for binary file transfer.
Both forks of the Macintosh file are preserved. This is the recommended
mode for transferring arbitrary Macintosh files.
- -b
- BinHex also preserves both forks of the Macintosh
file. In addition, the encoded file contains only ASCII characters, making
it suitable for electronic mail transmission.
- -t
- Text copies only the data fork of the Macintosh
file, while the contents of the resource fork are lost. In addition, this
mode translates end-of-line characters. This translation should be used
for text files.
- -r
- Raw Data copies only the data fork of the Macintosh
file, while the contents of the resource fork are lost.
- -a
- Automatic mode applies a set of predefined
heuristics to determine the appropriate translation. This is the default
if no mode is specified.
