SYNOPSIS

10       afile [-a] file...
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       afile displays the name and Macintosh type and creator of the file
15       arguments. Tests whether the file is an AppleDouble header, in which
16       case it checks the corresponding data fork exists, or assumes it is a
17       data fork in which case it looks for the corresponding AppleDouble to
18       find the type/creator information.
19
20       afile does not look at any of the extension mapping files such as
21       AppleVolumes.system.

OPTIONS
