✨ APPLE_DUMP(1) ✨

okay bestie, this is the Netatalk AFP Fileserver Manual 🌸 and the page we're looking at is all about apple_dump, a tool that's literally obsessed with AppleSingle/AppleDouble data 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

apple_dump is your go-to for dumping AppleSingle/AppleDouble format data 🧚

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Here are all the ways you can call it, no cap 💖

apple_dump [-a] [FILE | DIR]
apple_dump -e FILE | DIR
apple_dump -f [FILE]
apple_dump -d [FILE]
apple_dump -h | -help | --help
apple_dump -v | -version | --version

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So apple_dump dumps AppleSingle/AppleDouble format data, and it's giving main character energy 👑

It handles all kinds of AppleSingle/AppleDouble data made by mailers, archivers, Mac OS X, Netatalk and so on 🌈

If you don't give it a FILE|DIR, or you pass - as the FILE|DIR, it reads from standard input 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -a [FILE|DIR] — This one's the default and it's the iconic choice 💅 It dumps AppleSingle/AppleDouble data for the FILE or DIR automatically. If the FILE isn't AppleSingle/AppleDouble, it goes hunting for extended attributes, .AppleDouble/FILE and ._FILE. If you give it a DIR, it checks for extended attributes, DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent and ._DIR instead 🔥
  • -e FILE|DIR — Dumps the extended attributes of the FILE or DIR 🦋
  • -f [FILE] — Dumps the FILE and assumes FinderInfo is FileInfo 🌸
  • -d [FILE] — Dumps the FILE and assumes FinderInfo is DirInfo 🍓
  • -h, -help, --help — Shows the help and then exits 🙈
  • -v, -version, --version — Shows the version and then exits ⭐

💀 NOTE 💀

ngl this one is important. There is no way to detect whether FinderInfo is FileInfo or DirInfo. By default, apple_dump checks whether the file, directory or parent directory is .AppleDouble, whether the filename is ._*, whether the filename is .Parent, and so on. 😭

When you set -e, -f or -d, it assumes FinderInfo and doesn't go looking for any other data. Lowkey a power move 🧚
