This file +stores information including, the folder's location and size on screen, +its scroll positions, folder View (view as Icons, Small Icons, etc.). + +However, the similar FinderInfo data for the 'root' folder is a special case. +For example, if a directory called '/some/dir/macfiles' is a CAP volume that +is mounted on a Mac as 'macfiles', then the FinderInfo for this directory +is stored in the file '/some/dir/.finderinfo/macfiles' - which is outside +the CAP directory structure. + +To get round this, an extra option, '-root-info' is used that takes as its +argument the name of the file that stores the root folder's FinderInfo. + +Using the above example, the command file options will be something like: + +% mkhybrid --cap -root-info /some/dir/.finderinfo/macfiles /some/dir/macfiles + +The format of the root FinderInfo file must be the same as the 'double-dash' +option(s) given on the command line. + +The Apple/Unix encodings that mkhybrid can decode the root FinderInfo are: + +CAP: + CAP directory: /some/dir/macfiles + Root FinderInfo file: /some/dir/.finderinfo/macfiles + +Netatalk: + Netatalk directory: /some/dir/macfiles + Root FinderInfo file: /some/dir/.AppleDouble/RootInfo + +EtherShare: + EtherShare directory: /some/dir/macfiles + Root FinderInfo file: /some/dir/.rsrc/macfiles + +If an HFS disk is mounted on a Linux platform, then the root FinderInfo +files are: + +Option 'fork=cap': + Root FinderInfo file: /mountpoint/.rootinfo + +Option 'fork=double': + Root FinderInfo file: /mountpoint/%RootInfo + +Option 'fork=netatalk': + Root FinderInfo file: /mountpoint/.AppleDouble/RootInfo + + +The '-root-info' option implies the '-icon-position' option. Future releases +of mkhybrid may automatically find the root FinderInfo file. + +The volume name is not set from the root FinderInfo file. Use the -V or +-hfs-volid options to set the volume name. + +Currently UShare, SGI/XINET, PC Exchange and SFM Apple/Unix root FinderInfo +files are not supported by mkhybrid - more information about these formats +is required in order to supoort them. + +AppleSingle and MacBinary are file only formats - they don't support folders +or volumes. + +Using this option, it is now possible to make a nearly true representation +of a Mac folder layout on a Unix/Linux platform. + +Original author: James Pearson 26-Apr-2000 + +This describes the program as shipped with cdrkit, a spinoff from the +cdrtools project.
