NAME

       macsave - Save Mac files read from standard input

SYNOPSIS

       macsave [ - options ]

DESCRIPTION

       macsave  reads  a  sequence  of  Macintosh  MacBinary  files  from standard input and writes the files it
       contains subject to the options specified.

OPTIONS

       In the absence of any options, macsave reads standard input and silently writes the file(s)  it  contains
       in  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.)

       -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.
