NAME
maconv - Macintosh format converter
SYNOPSIS
maconv c [options] input-file [output-file]
maconv e [options] input-file [output-folder]
maconv d [options] input-folder [output-file]
DESCRIPTION
maconv(1) is a Linux software that can convert all kinds of old Macintosh formats, including MacBinary, Stuffit archives and HFS disk files.
OPTIONS
Maconv has three sub-commands: c, e and d.
Each sub-command can take the following flags:
- -h,--help
- Print an help message about Maconv and exit.
- -v,--verbose
- Enable verbose mode (i.e. log useful information when converting/extracting files).
Some sub-commands take a format argument. This argument must be one of the following formats: macbin, applesingle, rsrc or data (saves only data fork).
FILE CONVERSION (maconv c)
This sub-command converts a file from a format to
another. Supported formats are listed above. The command takes the following
arguments:
ARCHIVE EXTRACTION (maconv e)
- input-file
- The output format. If not provided this format is determined by the output filename extension. If both this format and the output filename are not provided the selected format is rsrc.
- output-file
- Name of the output file. This argument is optional. By default it's the name of the input file with another extension for a format that generates only one file or the "real" name of the file for other formats.
- -f,--format format
- The output format. If not provided this format is determined by the output filename extension. If both this format and the output filename are not provided the selected format is rsrc.
This sub-command extracts a Stuffit archive (version 1 or
5) or an HFS disk image. The command takes the following arguments:
DISK CREATION (maconv d)
- input-file
- The input archive/disk image.
- output-folder
- The folder in which the archive/disk image will be extracted. This argument is optional. By default the output folder is . (current folder).
- -f,--format format
- Format with which extracted files will be saved. By default this format is rsrc.
This sub-command creates an HFS disk image from a folder
(like a file archiver). The command takes the following arguments:
- input-folder
- The input folder. Files in this folder will be added to the HFS disk image.
- output-file
- Name of the disk image to create. This argument is optional. By default the disk image has the same name as the input folder plus .img.
- -n,--name vol-name
- Name of the volume to create on the disk image. By default it's the base name of the input folder.
EXAMPLES
- maconv c file-macbin.bin
- Extract both data and ressource forks from file-macbin.bin (MacBinary format) and save them using rsrc format.
- maconv e -f macbin archive.sit
- Extract a stuffit archive named archive.sit. Extracted files are saved in macbin format.
