MACSAVE(L)

NAME
       macsave - Save Mac files read from standard input

SYNOPSIS
       macsave [ - options ]

DESCRIPTION
       macsave reads a sequence of Macintosh MacBinary files from
       standard input and writes the files it contains subject to
       the options specified.

OPTIONS
       In  the  absence  of  any  options, macsave reads standard
       input and silently  writes  the  file(s)  it  contains  in
       MacBinary  format,  giving  the output files ".bin" exten-
       sions and placing them in the current  working  directory.
       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
              information.  Other options  are  ignored  and  the
              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.
