HCOPY(1) General Commands Manual HCOPY(1) NAME hcopy - copy files from or to an HFS volume SYNOPSIS hcopy [-m|-b|-t|-r|-a] source-path [...] target-path DESCRIPTION hcopy transfers files from an HFS volume to UNIX or vice versa. The named source files are copied to the named destination target, which must be a directory if multiple files are to be copied. Copies are performed using a translation mode, which must be one of: -m MacBinary II: A popular 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: An alternative format for ASCII file transfer. Both forks of the Macintosh file are preserved. -t Text: Performs end-of-line translation. Only the data fork of the Macintosh file is copied. -r Raw Data: Performs no translation. Only the data fork of the Macin- tosh file is copied. -a Automatic: A mode will be chosen automatically for each file based on a set of predefined heuristics. If no mode is specified, -a is assumed. If a UNIX source pathname is specified as a single dash (-), hcopy will copy from standard input to the HFS destination. Likewise, a single dash used as a UNIX destination pathname will cause hcopy to copy the HFS source to standard output. NOTES Copied files may have their filenames altered during translation. For exam- ple, an appropriate file extension may be added or removed, and certain other characters may also be transliterated. The destination target must not be ambiguous; that is, it must be obvious whether the target is on the UNIX filesystem or on an HFS volume. As a rule, HFS targets must contain at least one colon (:), usually as the be- ginning of a relative pathname or by itself to represent the current work- ing directory. To make a UNIX target unambiguous, either use an absolute pathname or precede a relative pathname with a dot and slash (./).
