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.
