ADDUMP(1)

🦋 ADDUMP(1) 🦋

Okay bestie, this is the Netatalk AFP Fileserver Manual page for addump, and it's giving main character energy 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

addump is your go-to for dumping AppleSingle/AppleDouble format data 🍓

---

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

addump [-a] [FILE | DIR]

addump [-e] [FILE | DIR]

addump [-f] [FILE]

addump [-d] [FILE]

addump [-h | -help | --help]

addump [-v | -version | --version]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so addump dumps AppleSingle/AppleDouble format data, and honestly it's so good at it 😭🔥

It can dump all sorts of AppleSingle/AppleDouble data made by mailers, archivers, Mac OS X, Netatalk and so on. Iconic range, no cap ✨

With no FILE | DIR, or when FILE | DIR is '-', it reads from standard input. Literally just pipe it in 🫶

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -a FILE | DIR — This one is the default, and it's lowkey the one you'll use most 👑 It dumps AppleSingle/AppleDouble data for FILE or DIR automatically. If FILE isn't in AppleSingle/AppleDouble format, it goes hunting for extended attributes, .AppleDouble/FILE and ._FILE. If it's a DIR, it looks for extended attributes, DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent and ._DIR instead. The way it just knows where to look 😩
• -e FILE | DIR — Dumps the extended attributes of FILE or DIR. Simple and clean 💜
• -f FILE — Dumps FILE, and assumes FinderInfo is FileInfo 🌸
• -d FILE — Dumps FILE, and assumes FinderInfo is DirInfo 🌈
• -h, -help, --help — Shows the help and exits. Your emergency button 🙈
• -v, -version, --version — Shows the version and exits ✨

---

🌸 NOTE 🌸

⚠️ Bestie, listen up: there is no way to detect whether FinderInfo is FileInfo or DirInfo. Not even a little 💀

By default, addump checks whether the file, directory or parent directory is .AppleDouble, whether the filename is ._*, whether the filename is .Parent, and so on. It's basically detective work 🕵️‍♀️

When you set -e, -f or -d, it assumes FinderInfo and doesn't look for any other data. So be intentional with it, okay? 💖
