macsave - Save Mac files read from standard input
SYNOPSIS
macsave [ - options ]
DESCRIPTION
macsave reads a sequence of Macintosh MacBinary files from standard
input and writes the files it contains subject to the options
specified.
OPTIONS
In the absence of any options, macsave reads standard input and
silently writes the file(s) it contains in MacBinary format, giving the
output files ".bin" extensions and placing them in the current working
directory. Subdirectories are created for embedded folders.

-f 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.
-U As -u, but there is no filename extension.
-a Write files in AppleShare format. This option is only valid if
the program is compiled with support for some form of
AppleShare. The current directory must be a valid AppleShare
folder.
-s Write extracted files to standard output in MacBinary format.
-l List every file extracted (and every directory/folder created
etc.)
-i Do not extract, give information only (implies -l.)

extracted (implies -l.)
