NAME
xhfs - graphical interface for manipulating HFS volumes SYNOPSIS
xhfs [left-path [right-path]] DESCRIPTION
xhfs presents a graphical front-end for browsing and copying files on HFS-formatted volumes. The display is divided into two parts, left and right, which can each independently view a directory on either an HFS volume or the host (UNIX) filesystem. Double-clicking the name of a directory in either view will open that directory. A pop-up menu at the top of each direc- tory view can be used to navigate to any directory between the current and the beginning of the hierarchy. Text files can be viewed by double-clicking them. Any file or set of files can be copied to the directory shown in the other view by selecting them and clicking the "Copy" button. Copying is performed according to the selected copy mode: MacBinary II The file(s) will be copied using the MacBinary II format. This is the recommended mode for transferring arbitrary Macintosh files. BinHex The file(s) will be copied using the BinHex format. This mode should be used to encode Macintosh files into strict ASCII format. Text In this mode, only the data fork(s) of the selected file(s) are copied. Furthermore, translation is performed on the data's end-of- line characters to conform to the standard for text files on the destination. Raw Data In this mode, only the data fork(s) of the selected file(s) are copied. However, no translation is performed whatsoever on the data. Automatic A copy mode will be selected automatically according to a set of heuristics. SEE ALSO

NAME
hcopy - copy files from or to an HFS volume SYNOPSIS
hcopy [-m|-b|-t|-r|-a] source-path [...] target-path DESCRIPTION
hcopy transfers files from an HFS volume to UNIX or vice versa. The named source files are copied to the named destination target, which must be a directory if multiple files are to be copied. Copies are performed using a translation mode, which must be one of: -m MacBinary II: A popular format for binary file transfer. Both forks of the Macintosh file are preserved. This is the recommended mode for transferring arbitrary Macintosh files. -b BinHex: An alternative format for ASCII file transfer. Both forks of the Macintosh file are preserved. -t Text: Performs end-of-line translation. Only the data fork of the Macintosh file is copied. -r Raw Data: Performs no translation. Only the data fork of the Macintosh file is copied. -a Automatic: A mode will be chosen automatically for each file based on a set of predefined heuristics. If no mode is specified, -a is assumed. If a UNIX source pathname is specified as a single dash (-), hcopy will copy from standard input to the HFS destination. Likewise, a single dash used as a UNIX destination pathname will cause hcopy to copy the HFS source to standard output. NOTES
Copied files may have their filenames altered during translation. For example, an appropriate file extension may be added or removed, and certain other characters may also be transliterated. The destination target must not be ambiguous; that is, it must be obvious whether the target is on the UNIX filesystem or on an HFS volume. As a rule, HFS targets must contain at least one colon (:), usually as the beginning of a relative pathname or by itself to represent the current working directory. To make a UNIX target unambiguous, either use an absolute pathname or precede a relative pathname with a dot and slash (./). SEE ALSO
