SYNOPSIS
macunpack [ - options ] [ file ]DESCRIPTION
macunpack takes the Macintosh MacBinary archive specified in file (or standard input if none is specified) and extracts the files it contains subject to the options specified. The program will also accept the data fork of the archive for some kinds of archive as standard input.OPTIONS
In the absence of any options, macunpack takes the specified archive and silently extracts the file(s) it contains into MacBinary format, giving the output files ".bin" extensions and placing them in the current working directory. Subdirectories are created for embedded folders.- -3

- As -3, but empty data and rsrc files are not created.
- -r
- Write resource forks only (.rsrc files.)
- -d
- Write data forks only (.data files.)
- -u
- As -d, but the codes for CR and LF are interchanged, the filename extension is .text.
