NAME

       hpcopy -- copy files from an HFS+ volume

SYNOPSIS

       hpcopy [-m  | -b  | -t  | -r  | -a ] source-path ... target-path

Description
       hpcopy copies files and directories from an HFS+ volume.  If multiple files are to be copied, the target path must be a directory.

       Since Macintosh files contain two forks, which are not representably in Unix file systems, copies use one of several translation modes:

       -m	 Mac  Binary  II  is  a 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 also preserves both forks of the Macintosh file.  In addition, the encoded file contains only ASCII characters, making	it
		 suitable for electronic mail transmission.

       -t	 Text  copies  only the data fork of the Macintosh file, while the contents of the resource fork are lost.  In addition, this mode
		 translates end-of-line characters.  This translation should be used for text files.

       -r	 Raw Data copies only the data fork of the Macintosh file, while the contents of the resource fork are lost.

       -a	 Automatic mode applies a set of predefined heuristics to determine the appropriate translation.  This is the default if  no  mode
		 is specified.
