NAME

       hpcopy — copy files from an HFS+ volume

SYNOPSIS

       hpcopy [-m  | -b  | -t  | -r  | -a ] source-path ... target-path

Description

       hpcopy  copies files and directories from an HFS+ volume.  If multiple files are to be copied, the target
       path must be a directory.

       Since Macintosh files contain two forks, which are not representably in Unix file systems, copies use one
       of several translation modes:

       -m        Mac  Binary  II  is  a  format  for binary file transfer.  Both forks of the Macintosh file are
                 preserved.  This is the recommended mode for transferring arbitrary Macintosh files.

       -b        BinHex also preserves both forks of the Macintosh file.  In addition, the encoded file contains
                 only ASCII characters, making it suitable for electronic mail transmission.

       -t        Text  copies  only the data fork of the Macintosh file, while the contents of the resource fork
                 are lost.  In addition, this mode translates end-of-line characters.  This  translation  should
                 be used for text files.

       -r        Raw  Data  copies  only the data fork of the Macintosh file, while the contents of the resource
                 fork are lost.

       -a        Automatic mode applies a set of predefined heuristics to determine the appropriate translation.
                 This is the default if no mode is specified.
