## Description

`apple_dump` dumps AppleSingle/AppleDouble format data.

It can dump various AppleSingle/AppleDouble data created by mailers, archivers, Mac OS X, Netatalk and so on.

With no `FILE`|`DIR`, or when `FILE`|`DIR` is '-', read standard input.

## Options

`-a` [`FILE`|`DIR`]

- This is the default. Dump AppleSingle/AppleDouble data for `FILE` or `DIR` automatically. If FILE is not in AppleSingle/AppleDouble format, look for extended attributes, `.AppleDouble/FILE` and `._FILE`. If `DIR`, look for extended attributes, `DIR/.AppleDouble/.Parent` and `._DIR`.

`-e` `FILE`|`DIR`

- Dump extended attributes of `FILE` or `DIR`.

`-f` [`FILE`]

- Dump `FILE`. Assume FinderInfo to be FileInfo.

`-d` [`FILE`]

- Dump `FILE`. Assume FinderInfo to be DirInfo.

`-h, -help, --help`

- Display the help and exit

`-v, -version, --version`

- Show version and exit

## NOTE

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

When setting option -e, -f or -d, assume FinderInfo and don't look for other data.
