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.
