NAME

       hfsplus -- a set of tools to access HFS+ file systems

Description
       HFS+,  also  known  as  the Macintosh Extended Format, was introduced by Apple Computer in 1998 with the release of MacOS 8.1.  It contains
       many improvements over the old HFS file system, most notably the ability to allocate up to 2^64 blocks, resulting in  much  more  efficient
       storage of many small files on large disks.

       The  hfsplus  collection  allows to access volumes formatted with the HFS+ file system from Debian GNU/Linux and related operating systems.
       The collection contains tools to mount and unmount HFS+ volumes, to change and list directories, and to copy files to and  from	HFS+  vol-
       umes.

       Note  that unlike its cousin, the hfsutils collection used for accessing HFS file systems, hfsplus does not use the Macintosh pathname syn-
       tax with ":" as delimiter.  Instead, it mimicks the unix notation, delimiting the names of volumes, directories and files in  a	path  with
       "/", and also understands "." and ".." to some extent.
