HFSSH(1)

NAME
hfssh - Tcl interpreter with HFS extensions

SYNOPSIS
hfssh [script]

DESCRIPTION
hfssh is a Tcl interpreter like tclsh(1) but which implements two extra commands:

ctime timestamp
    This command returns a date string representation of the given calendar time value, as per the ctime(3) C library function.

hfs mount|format|flushall|version|copyright|author|license
    This command introduces all of the possible top-level HFS operations.

SEE ALSO
hfsutils(1), hfs(1)

NOTES
Precautions are taken to ensure all open files and mounted volumes are cleanly closed and unmounted before exiting the shell, however abnormal termination (e.g. CTRL-C) can circumvent this, potentially leaving volumes in an inconsistent state. Judicious use of `hfs flushall' may help reduce this risk.

BUGS
Tcl does not provide a mechanism for manipulating arbitrary binary data. Therefore caution should be used when reading or writing files containing anything other than plain text.
