NAME¶
tobin - convert a series of files into a series of macbinary files
SYNOPSIS¶
tobin [
-resfilename
]
[
-type4-character-string
]
[
-creator4-character-string
] file...
DESCRIPTION¶
The program
tobin reads a series of files and wraps them up in a
macbinary wrapper. On the mac it read the resource fork and file create/type
flags from the filesystem (as one would expect). On non-mac systems (where
these concepts do not exist) you may specify these on the command line with
options.
OPTIONS¶
- -res filename
- Specify the name of a file from which a "resource
fork" should be read. This argument should precede the data file with
which it is associated (if you want a file with no data fork, you may omit
the data file).
- -type 4-character-string
- Specify the a mac 4 character type string used to tell the
finder what kind of file it is. This argument should precede the data or
resource file with which it is associated.
- -creator 4-character-string
- Specify the a mac 4 character type string used to tell the
finder what application is associated with this file. This argument should
precede the data or resource file with which it is associated.
