XHFS(1)XHFS(1)NAMExhfs - graphical interface for manipulating HFS volumes
SYNOPSISxhfs [left-path [right-path]]
DESCRIPTIONxhfs presents a graphical front-end for browsing and copying files on
HFS-formatted volumes.
The display is divided into two parts, left and right, which can each
independently view a directory on either an HFS volume or the host
(UNIX) filesystem. Double-clicking the name of a directory in either
view will open that directory. A pop-up menu at the top of each direc‐
tory view can be used to navigate to any directory between the current
and the beginning of the hierarchy.
Text files can be viewed by double-clicking them. Any file or set of
files can be copied to the directory shown in the other view by select‐
ing them and clicking the "Copy" button. Copying is performed according
to the selected copy mode:
MacBinary II
The file(s) will be copied using the MacBinary II format. This
is the recommended mode for transferring arbitrary Macintosh
files.
BinHex The file(s) will be copied using the BinHex format. This mode
should be used to encode Macintosh files into strict ASCII for‐
mat.
Text In this mode, only the data fork(s) of the selected file(s) are
copied. Furthermore, translation is performed on the data's
end-of-line characters to conform to the standard for text files
on the destination.
Raw Data
In this mode, only the data fork(s) of the selected file(s) are
copied. However, no translation is performed whatsoever on the
data.
Automatic
A copy mode will be selected automatically according to a set of
heuristics.
