\fBhpcopy\fR [\fB-m\fP  | \fB-b\fP  | \fB-t\fP  | \fB-r\fP  | \fB-a\fP ] \fIsource-path\fR \&... \fItarget-path\fR  
.SH "Description" 
.PP 
\fBhpcopy\fR copies files and directories from an 
HFS+ volume.  If multiple files are to be copied, the target 
path must be a directory. 
 
.PP 
Since Macintosh files contain two forks, which are not 
representably in Unix file systems, copies use one of several 
translation modes: 
 
.IP "\fB-m\fP" 10 
\fBMac Binary II\fP is a format for 
binary file transfer.  Both forks of the Macintosh file 
are preserved.  This is the recommended mode for 
transferring arbitrary Macintosh files. 
 
.IP "\fB-b\fP" 10 
\fBBinHex\fP also preserves both 
forks of the Macintosh file.  In addition, the encoded 
file contains only ASCII characters, making it suitable 
for electronic mail transmission. 
 
.IP "\fB-t\fP" 10 
\fBText\fP copies only the data fork 
of the Macintosh file, while the contents of the resource 
fork are lost.  In addition, this mode translates 
end-of-line characters.  This translation should be used 
for text files. 
 
.IP "\fB-r\fP" 10 
\fBRaw Data\fP copies only the data 
fork of the Macintosh file, while the contents of the 
resource fork are lost. 
 
.IP "\fB-a\fP" 10 
\fBAutomatic\fP mode applies a set of 
predefined heuristics to determine the appropriate 
translation.  This is the default if no mode is specified.
