tobin - convert a series of files into a series of macbinary
files
tobin [-resfilename]
[-type4-character-string]
[-creator4-character-string] file...
The program tobin reads a series of files and wraps them up
in a macbinary wrapper. On the mac it read the resource fork and file
create/type flags from the filesystem (as one would expect). On non-mac
systems (where these concepts do not exist) you may specify these on the
command line with options.
- -res filename
- Specify the name of a file from which a "resource fork" should
be read. This argument should precede the data file with which it is
associated (if you want a file with no data fork, you may omit the data
file).
- -type
4-character-string
- Specify the a mac 4 character type string used to tell the finder what
kind of file it is. This argument should precede the data or resource file
with which it is associated.
- -creator
4-character-string
- Specify the a mac 4 character type string used to tell the finder what
application is associated with this file. This argument should precede the
data or resource file with which it is associated.
