DESCRIPTION

       apple_dump is a perl script to dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format data.

       This script can dump various AppleSingle/AppleDouble data created by mailer, archiver, 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 default. Dump a AppleSingle/AppleDouble data for FILE or DIR automatically. If
           FILE is not AppleSingle/AppleDouble format, look for extended attribute,
           .AppleDouble/FILE and ._FILE. If DIR, look for extended attribute,
           DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent and ._DIR.

       -e FILE|DIR
           Dump extended attribute 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 file or directory, a parent directory is .AppleDouble,
       filename is ._*, filename is .Parent, and so on.

       If setting option -e, -f or -d, assume FinderInfo and doesn't look for another data.
