okay so bestie, this is the manual page for debinhex.pl, and it is literally here to help you decode BinHex files. let’s get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

debinhex.pl — uses Convert::BinHex to decode BinHex files. slay, that’s the whole name situation 🎀

🛠️ USAGE 🛠️

the usage is giving very straightforward, no cap:

Usage:

    debinhex.pl [options] file ... file

where the options are:

  • -o dir — output in the given directory; the default is to output in the file’s directory 💅
  • -v — verbose output; normally just one line per file is shown 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖
