RE: cat and output filename
You might try a script: like
#!/bin/bash
# precat : cat a file with the filename prepended to each line
FILE=$1
if [ -z "$FILE" ] ; then
echo " no file specified, and I do not care to handle stdin today"
exit 1
fi
FOO=`basename $FILE`
if [ -f $FILE ] ; then
cat ${FILE} | while read line
do
echo "$FOO --- $line "
done
else
echo "Cannot read $FILE "
fi
It messes with the formatting a bit, but is a easy 'first cut' that only requires shell.

apple_dump
APPLE_DUMP(1) Netatalk 2.2 APPLE_DUMP(1)
NAME
apple_dump - Dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format file
SYNOPSIS
apple_dump [-a] FILE | DIR
apple_dump -f FILE
apple_dump -d FILE
apple_dump -h | -help | --help
apple_dump -v | -version | --version
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.
