# Synopsis

**addump** [-a] [*FILE* | *DIR*]

**addump** [-e] [*FILE* | *DIR*]

**addump** [-f] [*FILE*]

**addump** [-d] [*FILE*]

**addump** [-h | -help | --help]

**addump** [-v | -version | --version]

# Description

**addump** 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, addump 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.
