NAME
hcopy - copy files from or to an HFS volume SYNOPSIS
hcopy [-m|-b|-t|-r|-a] source-path [...] target-path DESCRIPTION
hcopy transfers files from an HFS volume to UNIX or vice versa. The named source files are copied to the named destination target, which must be a directory if multiple files are to be copied. Copies are performed using a translation mode, which must be one of: -m MacBinary II: A popular format for binary file transfer. Both forks of the Macintosh file are preserved. This is the recommended mode for transferring arbitrary Macintosh files. -b BinHex: An alternative format for ASCII file transfer. Both forks of the Macintosh file are preserved. -t Text: Performs end-of-line translation. Only the data fork of the Macintosh file is copied. -r Raw Data: Performs no translation. Only the data fork of the Macintosh file is copied. -a Automatic: A mode will be chosen automatically for each file based on a set of predefined heuristics. If no mode is specified, -a is assumed. If a UNIX source pathname is specified as a single dash (-), hcopy will copy from standard input to the HFS destination. Likewise, a single dash used as a UNIX destination pathname will cause hcopy to copy the HFS source to standard output. NOTES
Copied files may have their filenames altered during translation. For example, an appropriate file extension may be added or removed, and certain other characters may also be transliterated. The destination target must not be ambiguous; that is, it must be obvious whether the target is on the UNIX filesystem or on an HFS volume. As a rule, HFS targets must contain at least one colon (:), usually as the beginning of a relative pathname or by itself to represent the current working directory. To make a UNIX target unambiguous, either use an absolute pathname or precede a relative pathname with a dot and slash (./). SEE ALSO

HMOUNT(1)						      General Commands Manual							 HMOUNT(1)

NAME
hmount - introduce a new HFS volume and make it current SYNOPSIS
hmount source-path [partition-no] DESCRIPTION
hmount is used to introduce a new HFS volume. A UNIX pathname to the volume's source must be specified. The source may be a block device or a regular file containing an HFS volume image. If the source medium is partitioned, one partition must be selected to be mounted. If there is only one HFS partition on the medium, it will be selected by default. Otherwise, the desired partition number must be specified (as the ordinal nth HFS partition) on the command- line. Partition number 0 can be specified to refer to the entire medium, ignoring what might otherwise be perceived as a partition map, although in practice this is probably only useful if you want this command to fail when the medium is partitioned. The mounted volume becomes "current" so subsequent commands will refer to it. The current working directory for the volume is set to the root of the volume. This information is kept in a file named .hcwd in the user's home directory. If the source medium is changed (e.g. floppy or CD-ROM disc exchanged) after hmount has been called, subsequent HFS commands will fail until the original medium is replaced or a different volume is made current. To use the same source path with the different medium, reissue the hmount command. EXAMPLES
% hmount /dev/fd0 If a Macintosh floppy disk is available as /dev/fd0, this command makes the floppy current for other HFS commands such as hls(1), hcd(1), hcopy(1), etc. % hmount /dev/sd2 1 If a SCSI disk is available as /dev/sd2, this command finds the first HFS partition on the medium and makes it available for other HFS operations. NOTES
hmount does not actually mount an HFS partition over a UNIX directory in the traditional mount(8) sense. It is merely a "virtual" mount, as a point of convenience for future HFS operations. Each HFS command independently opens, operates on, and closes the named source path given to hmount. SEE ALSO
