binhex \- Hexifies a series of files
13
takes the files specified in
15
and hexifies them in BinHex 4.0 format on standard output
21
also specifies directories they are followed recursively, and all files
22
found will be hexified.
25
parameter is specified, binhex reads a MacBinary stream from standard
26
input and hexifies the files found; folder information is lost.
28
In the absence of any options,
30
takes the specified files and silently hexifies them to BinHex 4.0
31
format, writing the result to standard output.
34
are followed recursively, all files found will be hexified.
35
Files are assumed to be in MacBinary format.
36
However, if the filename ends with .info the file is assumed to be
37
the info fork of a MacIntosh file split amongst more than one file.
38
In that case the files with .data and .rsrc extensions
39
are also read (if present).
40
Also, if the info fork is mentioned in the parameter list, the names
41
of data and resource forks can also be mentioned, but those will be
42
ignored (this is to allow wild-card expansion by the shell.)
43
Further, if some form of AppleShare is supported by the installed
44
program, and if the current directory, or one of the directories found
45
during recursive processing, is a directory in the format of the
46
supported version of AppleShare, those files will be handled according
47
to the properties of AppleShare.
50
No intelligent file-processing is performed; all files named are assumed
51
to be plain resource files, and are hexified as if they were
52
MacIntosh resource files with
53
creator "RSED" and type "RSRC", unless another creator and/or type are
57
No intelligent file-processing is performed; all files named are assumed
58
to be plain data files, and are hexified as if they were
59
MacIntosh data files with
60
creator "MACA" and type "TEXT", unless another creator and/or type are
64
As -d, but the codes for CR and LF are interchanged.
70
Defines the creator name to be used if one of the previous options is
74
Defines the type name to be used if one of the previous options is
78
Do not use run-length encoding during the conversion.
79
This option may speed up the encoding a bit, but it is merely a
83
List every file and directory processed.
86
Do not output files, give information only (implies -l.)
89
Ask the user for every file/directory whether it should be visited
93
Gives the patchlevel of the program, and other information.
94
Other options are ignored and the program quits immediately.
97
Give short information about the options.
98
Other options are ignored and the program quits immediately.
100
As this is a beta release, there may still be some problems.
