source-path ...
target-path
Overview
hpcopy copies files and directories from an HFS+ volume. If multiple files are to be copied, the target path must be a directory.
Since Macintosh files contain two forks, which are not representably in Unix file systems, copies use one of several translation modes:
-
-m -
Mac Binary II 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.
-
-b -
BinHexalso preserves both forks of the Macintosh file. In addition, the encoded file contains only ASCII characters, making it suitable for electronic mail transmission.
-
-t -
Textcopies 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.
-
-r -
Raw Data copies only the data fork of the Macintosh file, while the contents of the resource fork are lost.
-
-a -
Automaticmode applies a set of predefined heuristics to determine the appropriate translation. This is the default if no mode is specified.
