The netatalk + style AppleDouble format is the file format used by afpd, + the netatalk Apple Filing Protocol + (AppleShare) server. BinHex, MacBinary, and AppleSingle are commonly used + formats for transferring Macintosh files between machines via email or + file transfer protocols. megatron uses its name to + determine what type of transformation is being asked of it. + + If megatron is called as unhex + , unbin or unsingle, it tries to + convert file(s) from BinHex, MacBinary, or AppleSingle into AppleDouble + format. BinHex is the format most often used to send Macintosh files by + e-mail. Usually these files have an extension of ".hqx". MacBinary + is the format most often used by terminal emulators "on the fly" + when transferring Macintosh files in binary mode. MacBinary files often + have an extension of ".bin". Some Macintosh LAN-based email + packages use uuencoded AppleSingle format to "attach" or + "enclose" files in email. AppleSingle files don't have a + standard filename extension. + + If megatron is called as hqx2bin, + single2bin, or macbinary, it will + try to convert the file(s) from BinHex, AppleSingle, or AppleDouble into + MacBinary. This last translation may be useful in moving Macintosh files + from your afpd server to some other machine when you + can't copy them from the server using a Macintosh for some reason. + + If megatron is called with any other name, it + uses the default translation, namely unhex. + + If no source file is given, or if sourcefile + is `-', and if the + conversion is from a BinHex or MacBinary file, megatron + will read from standard input. + + The filename used to store any output file is the filename that is + encoded in the source file. MacBinary files are created with a + ".bin" extension. In the case of conflicts, the old file is + overwritten! + + + + OPTIONS + + + + + + + Show version. + + + + + + + + + SEE ALSO + + afpd8 + +
