NAME
afile - display type and creator of Apple Macintosh
files (netatalk format)
SYNOPSIS
afile [-a] file ...
DESCRIPTION
afile displays the name and Macintosh type and
creator of the file arguments. Tests whether the file is an
AppleDouble header, in which case it checks the corresponding data
fork exists, or assumes it is a data fork in which case it looks
for the corresponding AppleDouble to find the type/creator
information.
afile does not look at any of the extension mapping files such
as AppleVolumes.system.
