 "DESCRIPTION"

apple_dump
dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format file.

 "OPTIONS"

-a FILE|DIR


This is default. Dump a AppleSingle/AppleDouble file for
FILE
or
DIR
automatically. Extrapolate FinderInfo type from absolute path. If FILE is not AppleSingle/AppleDouble format, look for
.AppleDouble/FILE
and
._FILE. If
DIR, look for
DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent
and
._DIR.




-f FILE


Dump
FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be FileInfo.




-d FILE


Dump
FILE. Assume FinderInfo to be DirInfo.




-h, -help, --help


Display the help and exit




-v, -version, --version


Show version and exit



 "NOTE"

There is no way to detect whether FinderInfo is FileInfo or DirInfo. By default, apple_dump examins whether file or directory, a parent directory is .AppleDouble, filename is ._*, filename is .Parent, and so on.


If setting option -f or -d, assume FinderInfo and doesn\'t look for another file.
