NAME

       xhfs - graphical interface for manipulating HFS volumes

SYNOPSIS

       xhfs [left-path [right-path]]

DESCRIPTION

       xhfs presents a graphical front-end for browsing and copying files on HFS-formatted volumes.

       The  display  is divided into two parts, left and right, which can each independently view a directory on
       either an HFS volume or the host (UNIX) filesystem. Double-clicking the name of  a  directory  in  either
       view will open that directory. A pop-up menu at the top of each directory view can be used to navigate to
       any directory between the current and the beginning of the hierarchy.

       Text files can be viewed by double-clicking them. Any file or set of files can be copied to the directory
       shown  in the other view by selecting them and clicking the "Copy" button. Copying is performed according
       to the selected copy mode:

       MacBinary II
              The file(s) will be copied using the MacBinary  II  format.  This  is  the  recommended  mode  for
              transferring arbitrary Macintosh files.

       BinHex The  file(s)  will be copied using the BinHex format. This mode should be used to encode Macintosh
              files into strict ASCII format.

       Text   In this mode, only the data fork(s) of the selected file(s) are copied.  Furthermore,  translation
              is performed on the data's end-of-line characters to conform to the standard for text files on the
              destination.

       Raw Data
              In  this  mode, only the data fork(s) of the selected file(s) are copied.  However, no translation
              is performed whatsoever on the data.

       Automatic
              A copy mode will be selected automatically according to a set of heuristics.
