DESCRIPTION

       apple_dump dumps AppleSingle/AppleDouble format data.

       It can dump various AppleSingle/AppleDouble data created by mailers, archivers, Mac OS X,
       Netatalk and so on.

       With no FILE|DIR, or when FILE|DIR is '-', read standard input.

OPTIONS

       -a [FILE|DIR]
           This is the default. Dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble data for FILE or DIR automatically.
           If FILE is not in AppleSingle/AppleDouble format, look for extended attributes,
           .AppleDouble/FILE and ._FILE. If DIR, look for extended attributes,
           DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent and ._DIR.

       -e FILE|DIR
           Dump extended attributes of FILE or 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 examines whether the file, directory or parent directory is .AppleDouble,
       filename is ._*, filename is .Parent, and so on.

       When setting option -e, -f or -d, assume FinderInfo and don't look for other data.
