DESCRIPTION

       apple_dump dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble format file.

OPTIONS

       -a FILE|DIR
           This is default. Dump a AppleSingle/AppleDouble file for FILE or DIR automatically.
           Extrapolate FinderInfo type from absolute path. If FILE is not AppleSingle/AppleDouble
           format, look for .AppleDouble/FILE and ._FILE. If DIR, look for
           DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent and ._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 examins whether file or directory, a parent directory is .AppleDouble, filename
       is ._*, filename is .Parent, and so on.

       If setting option -f or -d, assume FinderInfo and doesn´t look for another file.
