MACUNPACK(L)

NAME
       macunpack - Macintosh file de-archiver

SYNOPSIS
       macunpack [ - options ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION
       macunpack  takes the 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 for some kinds of archive as standard input.

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 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.  Archives that are password protected and multi-file
       archives are not dealt with.
