NAME
     aapppplleessiinnggllee, bbiinnhheexx, mmaaccbbiinnaarryy - encode and decode files

SYNOPSIS
     <> probe file ...
     <> [decode] [-cc] [-ffvv] [-CC dir] [-oo outfile] [file ...]
     <> -hh | -VV

     aapppplleessiinnggllee encode [-ccffvv] [-SS suf] [-CC dir] [-oo outfile] file ...
     bbiinnhheexx encode [-RR] [-ccffvv] [-SS suf] [-CC dir] [-oo outfile] file ...
     mmaaccbbiinnaarryy encode [-tt 1-3] [-ccffvv] [-SS suf] [-CC dir] [-oo outfile] file ...

DESCRIPTION
     aapppplleessiinnggllee, bbiinnhheexx, mmaaccbbiinnaarryy are implemented as a single tool with mul-
     tiple names.  All invocations support the three verbs eennccooddee, ddeeccooddee, and
     pprroobbee.

     If multiple files are passed to pprroobbee, the exit status will be non-zero
     only if aallll files contain data in the specified encoding.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
     -ff, --ffoorrccee
              perform the operation even if the output file already exists

     -hh, --hheellpp
              display version and usage, then quit

     -vv, --vveerrbboossee
              be verbose

     -VV, --vveerrssiioonn
              display version, then quit

     -cc, --ppiippee, --ffrroomm-ssttddiinn, --ttoo-ssttddoouutt
              For ddeeccooddee, read encoded data from the standand input.  For
              eennccooddee, write encoded data to the standard output.  Currently,
              "plain" data must be written to and from specified filenames
              (see also mountfdesc(8)).

     -CC, --ddiirreeccttoorryy dir
              create output files in dir

     -oo, --rreennaammee name
              Use name for output, overriding any stored or default name.  For
              eennccooddee, the appropriate suffix will be added to name.  -oo
              implies only one file to be encoded or decoded.

     -SS, --ssuuffffiixx .suf
              override the default suffix for the given encoding

     -RR, --nnoo-rruunnlleennggtthh-eennccooddiinngg
              don't use BinHex runlength compression when encoding

     -tt, --ttyyppee 1-3
              Specify MacBinary encoding type.  Type 1 is undesirable because
              it has neither a checksum nor a signature and is thus difficult
              to recognize.

DIAGNOSTICS
     In general, the tool returns a non-zero exit status if it fails.
