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.
