NAME¶
xhfs - graphical interface for manipulating HFS volumes
SYNOPSIS¶
xhfs [
left-path [
right-path]]
DESCRIPTION¶
xhfs presents a graphical front-end for browsing and copying files on
HFS-formatted volumes.
The display is divided into two parts, left and right, which can each
independently view a directory on either an HFS volume or the host (UNIX)
filesystem. Double-clicking the name of a directory in either view will open
that directory. A pop-up menu at the top of each directory view can be used to
navigate to any directory between the current and the beginning of the
hierarchy.
Text files can be viewed by double-clicking them. Any file or set of files can
be copied to the directory shown in the other view by selecting them and
clicking the "Copy" button. Copying is performed according to the
selected copy mode:
- MacBinary II
- The file(s) will be copied using the MacBinary II format.
This is the recommended mode for transferring arbitrary Macintosh
files.
- BinHex
- The file(s) will be copied using the BinHex format. This
mode should be used to encode Macintosh files into strict ASCII
format.
- Text
- In this mode, only the data fork(s) of the selected file(s)
are copied. Furthermore, translation is performed on the data's
end-of-line characters to conform to the standard for text files on the
destination.
- Raw Data
- In this mode, only the data fork(s) of the selected file(s)
are copied. However, no translation is performed whatsoever on the
data.
- Automatic
- A copy mode will be selected automatically according to a
set of heuristics.
