NAME
macunpack - Macintosh file de-archiver
SYNOPSIS
macunpack [ - options ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
macunpack takes the specified 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.
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 interchanged
- -a Write files in AUFS format. This option is only
- valid if the program is compiled with AUFS support.
The current directory must be a valid AUFS folder. - -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)
BUGS
As this is a beta release, there may still be some prob
lems. Archives that are password protected, multi-file
archives, and files archived using Stuffit Deluxe's com
pression methods 6 or 8 (Fixed Huffman and Bigram compres
sion) are not dealt with.
