NAME

       hmount - introduce a new HFS volume and make it current

SYNOPSIS

       hmount source-path [partition-no]

DESCRIPTION

       hmount is used to introduce a new HFS volume. A UNIX pathname to the volume's source must be specified. The source may be a block device or
       a regular file containing an HFS volume image.

       If the source medium is partitioned, one partition must be selected to be mounted. If there is only one HFS partition  on  the  medium,	it
       will  be  selected by default. Otherwise, the desired partition number must be specified (as the ordinal nth HFS partition) on the command-
       line. Partition number 0 can be specified to refer to the entire medium, ignoring what might otherwise be perceived  as	a  partition  map,
       although in practice this is probably only useful if you want this command to fail when the medium is partitioned.

       The  mounted  volume becomes "current" so subsequent commands will refer to it.	The current working directory for the volume is set to the
       root of the volume.  This information is kept in a file named .hcwd in the user's home directory.

       If the source medium is changed (e.g. floppy or CD-ROM disc exchanged) after hmount has been called,  subsequent  HFS  commands	will  fail
       until the original medium is replaced or a different volume is made current. To use the same source path with the different medium, reissue
       the hmount command.

EXAMPLES

       % hmount /dev/fd0
	      If a Macintosh floppy disk is available as /dev/fd0, this command makes the floppy current for other HFS commands  such  as  hls(1),
	      hcd(1), hcopy(1), etc.

       % hmount /dev/sd2 1
	      If  a  SCSI disk is available as /dev/sd2, this command finds the first HFS partition on the medium and makes it available for other
	      HFS operations.

NOTES

       hmount does not actually mount an HFS partition over a UNIX directory in the traditional mount(8) sense. It is merely a "virtual" mount, as
       a point of convenience for future HFS operations. Each HFS command independently opens, operates on, and closes the named source path given
       to hmount.

NAME

       hfs - shell for manipulating HFS volumes

SYNOPSIS

       hfs [hfs-path [partition-no]]

DESCRIPTION

       hfs is an interactive command-oriented tool for manipulating HFS volumes.  hfs is based on the Tcl interpreter, so basic Tcl constructs can
       be used in addition to the following commands:

       mount path [partition-no]
	      The specified UNIX path is opened as an HFS volume. If a partition number n is specified and the volume source is located on a  par-
	      titioned medium, the nth discovered HFS partition will be mounted. The default partition-no is 1.

       umount [path]
	      The volume previously mounted from the specified path (or the current volume, if none specified) is unmounted.

       vol path
	      The volume previously mounted from the specified path is made current.

       info   General  information about the currently mounted volume is displayed. This information is also displayed automatically when the vol-
	      ume is mounted.

       pwd    The full path to the current working HFS directory is displayed.

       cd [hfs-path]
	      The current working directory is changed to the given HFS path. If no path is given, the working directory is changed to the root of
	      the volume.

       dir [hfs-path]
	      A  directory listing of the specified HFS directory is displayed. If no path is given, the contents of the current working directory
	      are shown.

       mkdir hfs-path
	      A new, empty directory is created with the specified path.

       rmdir hfs-path
	      The specified directory is removed. It must be empty.

       create hfs-path [type [creator]]
	      An empty file is created with the specified path. The Macintosh type and creator may be specified, or they will default to TEXT  and
	      UNIX, respectively.

       del hfs-path
	      Both forks of the specified file are deleted.

       stat hfs-path
	      Status information about the specified HFS path-identified entity is displayed.

       cat hfs-path
	      The data fork of the specified HFS file is displayed.

       copyin unix-path [hfs-path [mode]]
	      The  specified  UNIX  file is copied to the named HFS destination path. Unless specified otherwise, the file will be copied into the
	      current HFS working directory using a heuristically chosen mode. The mode may be one of: macb (MacBinary II), binh  (BinHex),  text,
	      or raw.

       copyout hfs-path [unix-path [mode]]
	      The  specified HFS file is copied into the named UNIX destination path. Unless specified otherwise, the file will be copied into the
	      current UNIX working directory using a heuristically chosen mode. The modes are the same as for copyin.

       format path [partition-no [volume-name]]
	      The specified UNIX path is initialized as an empty HFS volume with the given name, and this  volume  is  subsequently  mounted.  The
	      default volume name is Untitled.

       The  shell  is scriptable, however it should be understood that the above commands are actually implemented by Tcl procedures prefixed with
       the character "h", e.g. hmount, hcd, etc., in order to avoid name collisions with other Tcl utilities. The "h" may be omitted  in  interac-
       tive use for convenience.

BUGS

       cat  can only display the data fork of a file. Text translations are performed unconditionally on the output. Furthermore, binary data can-
       not be handled properly from within Tcl scripts since the character with value 0 cannot be represented in Tcl strings. Use copyout to  copy
       files without these limitations.
