NAME

       xhfs - graphical interface for manipulating HFS volumes

SYNOPSIS

       xhfs [left-path [right-path]]

DESCRIPTION

       xhfs  presents  a  graphical  front-end  for  browsing  and copying files on HFS-formatted
       volumes.

       The display is divided into two parts, left and right, which can each independently view a
       directory  on either an HFS volume or the host (UNIX) filesystem. Double-clicking the name
       of a directory in either view will open that directory. A pop-up menu at the top  of  each
       directory  view  can  be  used  to  navigate  to any directory between the current and the
       beginning of the hierarchy.

       Text files can be viewed by double-clicking them. Any file or set of files can  be  copied
       to the directory shown in the other view by selecting them and clicking the "Copy" button.
       Copying is performed according to the selected copy mode:

       MacBinary II
              The file(s) will be copied using the MacBinary II format. This is  the  recommended
              mode for transferring arbitrary Macintosh files.

       BinHex The  file(s)  will  be  copied using the BinHex format. This mode should be used to
              encode Macintosh files into strict ASCII format.

       Text   In  this  mode,  only  the  data  fork(s)  of  the  selected  file(s)  are  copied.
              Furthermore,  translation  is  performed  on  the  data's end-of-line characters to
              conform to the standard for text files on the destination.

       Raw Data
              In this mode, only the data fork(s) of the selected file(s) are  copied.   However,
              no translation is performed whatsoever on the data.

       Automatic
              A copy mode will be selected automatically according to a set of heuristics.
