NAME

       macunpack - Macintosh file de-archiver

SYNOPSIS

       macunpack [ - options ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION

       macunpack  takes  the  Macintosh  MacBinary  archive  specified  in  file  (or  standard input if none is
       specified) and extracts the files it contains subject to the options specified.  The  program  will  also
       accept the data fork of the archive for some kinds of archive as standard input.

OPTIONS

       In the absence of any options, macunpack takes the specified archive and silently extracts the file(s) it
       contains into MacBinary format, giving the output files ".bin" extensions and placing them in the current
       working directory.  Subdirectories are created for embedded folders.

       -3     Write files in fork format (.info, .data and .rsrc files.)

       -f     As -3, but empty data and rsrc files are not created.

       -r     Write resource forks only (.rsrc files.)

       -d     Write data forks only (.data files.)

       -u     As -d, but the codes for CR and LF are interchanged, the filename extension is .text.

       -U     As -u, but there is no filename extension.

       -a     Write  files  in  AppleShare  format.   This  option is only valid if the program is compiled with
              support for some form of AppleShare.  The current directory must be a valid AppleShare folder.

       -s     Write extracted files to standard output in MacBinary format.

       -l     List every file extracted (and every directory/folder created etc.)

       -v     Like -l, but more verbose (implies -l.)

       -i     Do not extract, give information only (implies -l.)

       -q     Ask the user for every file/folder whether it should be extracted (implies -l.)

       -V     Gives the patchlevel of the program, and other information.  Other options  are  ignored  and  the
              program quits immediately.

       -H     Give  short  information  about  the  options.   Other  options  are ignored and the program quits
              immediately.

BUGS

       As this is a beta release, there may still be some problems.  Archives that are  password  protected  and
       multi-file archives are not dealt with.
