PROGRAM:

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.
