hpcopy(1)
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.
