NAME
       hfs - shell for manipulating HFS volumes

SYNOPSIS
       hfs [hfs-path [partition-no]]

DESCRIPTION
       hfs  is	an interactive command-oriented tool for manipulating HFS vol‐
       umes.  hfs is based on the Tcl interpreter, so basic Tcl constructs can
       be used in addition to the following commands:

       mount path [partition-no]
	      The  specified UNIX path is opened as an HFS volume. If a parti‐
	      tion number n is specified and the volume source is located on a
	      partitioned  medium,  the	 nth  discovered HFS partition will be
	      mounted. The default partition-no is 1.

       umount [path]
	      The volume previously mounted from the specified	path  (or  the
	      current volume, if none specified) is unmounted.

       vol path
	      The  volume  previously  mounted from the specified path is made
	      current.

       info   General information about the currently mounted volume  is  dis‐
	      played.  This  information  is also displayed automatically when
	      the volume is mounted.

       pwd    The full path to the current working HFS directory is displayed.

       cd [hfs-path]
	      The current working directory is changed to the given HFS	 path.
	      If  no  path  is	given, the working directory is changed to the
	      root of the volume.

       dir [hfs-path]
	      A directory listing of the specified HFS directory is displayed.
	      If  no path is given, the contents of the current working direc‐
	      tory are shown.

       mkdir hfs-path
	      A new, empty directory is created with the specified path.

       rmdir hfs-path
	      The specified directory is removed. It must be empty.

       create hfs-path [type [creator]]
	      An empty file is created with the specified path. The  Macintosh
	      type  and creator may be specified, or they will default to TEXT
	      and UNIX, respectively.

       del hfs-path
	      Both forks of the specified file are deleted.

       stat hfs-path
	      Status  information  about  the  specified  HFS  path-identified
	      entity is displayed.

       cat hfs-path
	      The data fork of the specified HFS file is displayed.

       copyin unix-path [hfs-path [mode]]
	      The  specified  UNIX file is copied to the named HFS destination
	      path. Unless specified otherwise, the file will be  copied  into
	      the  current  HFS working directory using a heuristically chosen
	      mode. The mode may be one of: macb (MacBinary  II),  binh	 (Bin‐
	      Hex), text, or raw.

       copyout hfs-path [unix-path [mode]]
	      The specified HFS file is copied into the named UNIX destination
	      path. Unless specified otherwise, the file will be  copied  into
	      the  current UNIX working directory using a heuristically chosen
	      mode. The modes are the same as for copyin.

       format path [partition-no [volume-name]]
	      The specified UNIX path is initialized as an  empty  HFS	volume
	      with  the	 given	name, and this volume is subsequently mounted.
	      The default volume name is Untitled.

       The shell is scriptable, however it should be understood that the above
       commands	 are  actually implemented by Tcl procedures prefixed with the
       character "h", e.g. hmount, hcd, etc., in order to  avoid  name	colli‐
       sions  with  other Tcl utilities. The "h" may be omitted in interactive
       use for convenience.

BUGS
       cat can only display the data fork of a	file.  Text  translations  are
       performed  unconditionally on the output. Furthermore, binary data can‐
       not be handled properly from within Tcl	scripts	 since	the  character
       with  value 0 cannot be represented in Tcl strings. Use copyout to copy
       files without these limitations.
