hexbin - Macintosh file de-debinhexer
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
hheexxbbiinn [ -- ooppttiioonnss ] [ files ]
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
_h_e_x_b_i_n takes the specified text file specified in _f_i_l_e_s
(or standard input if none is specified) and converts the
files it contains subject to the _o_p_t_i_o_n_s specified.
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
In the absence of any options, _h_e_x_b_i_n takes the specified
files and silently converts the file(s) it contains into
MacBinary format, giving the output files ".bin" exten-
sions and placing them in the current working directory.
--33 Write files in fork format (.info, .data and .rsrc
files)
--ff As -3, but empty data and rsrc files are not cre-
ated
--rr Write resource forks only (.rsrc files)
--dd Write data forks only (.data files)
--uu As -d, but the codes for CR and LF are interchanged
--aa 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.
--ss Write extracted files to standard output in MacBi-
nary format.
--ll List every file extracted (and every direc-
tory/folder created etc.)
--vv Like -l, but more verbose. When this option is
specified all lines skipped because they do not
belong to the hexified format are listed (Implies
-l)
--ii Do not convert, give information only (Implies -l)
--cc Do not check whether the hexified lines have equal
size. Normally the hexifiers gives text files with
equal length line size, hexbin uses this in its
heuristics to determine whether a line must be
skipped. There are however hexified files that do
not conform to that pattern. If this option is
specified hexbin will in general be unable to
detect whether a line is garbage or not, so you

have to remove the garbage by hand.
--nn nnaammee
Gives the Unix base file name for the converted
files. For files hexified with BinHex 4.0 or com-
patible hexifiers this flag is not needed; hexbin
will determine the Unix file name based on the Mac
file name. For files in dl, hex or hcx format this
parameter may be needed as these formats do not
include the Mac filename. Normally hexbin will in
those cases base the Unix file name on the text
file name, but that can be overruled with this
parameter.
--VV Gives the patchlevel of the program, and other
information. Other options are ignored and the
program quits immediately.
--HH Give short information about the options. Other
options are ignored and the program quits immedi-
ately.
BBUUGGSS
As this is a beta release, there may still be some prob-
lems.
