8       hfsp hfsplus - Collection of tools to acces HFS+ volumes.

10       DESCRIPTION
11
12
13       The  hfsplus  collection  cotains  tools  to read and display the files
14       found on an HFS+ formatted volume. HFS+ is the volume format intodruced
15       by  Apple  Computer  inc. around MacOS 8. The HFS+ format uses a better
16       approach to acces large volumes and allows files  with  a  size  up  to
17       2[circ   ]64 bytes. In Addition filenames are saved as two-byte unicode
18       with a length upto 255 (unicode) characters.
19
20       In contrast to its sucessor, the hfs-tools hfsplus  does  not  use  the
21       volume/directory/file/ syntax using ':' as delimiter but uses the stan‐
22       dard unix '/', '..' and '.' notation. Since this concept is  not  fully
23       supported my HFS+ not all combinations will be understood.

25       EXAMPLES
26
27
28       This  example  mounts  my main HFS+ volume, shows some files and copies
29       one to the linux side:
30
31       > hpmount /dev/hda13
32       > hpls
33       Apple Extras     Desktop Folder   MP3              Systemordner
34       Benutzer         Develop          Programme        Temporary Items
35       Bibel            Dokumente        Spiele           VM Storage
36       > hpcd Develop
37       > hpcd Test
38       > hppwd
39       /Aida/Develop/Test
40       hpcopy -t Test.cp .
41       > hpumount

50       BUGS
51
52
53       There  are  some  bugs  related  to uniocde handling and the large file
54       sizes not supported by some older formats (binhex, macbinary).  See the
55       developer documenatation for details
