A command line tool that can extract data from AppleDouble (and probably AppleSingle) files.
This is useful if you have stored Mac files on FAT32-formatted floppy disks or in macOS X ZIP archives and want to (further) extract the data from them on a non-Mac operating system.
Just point it at the second file containing the AppleDouble data, e.g.:
dansappledouble "/Volumes/DOSDISK/._Art Bits"
dansappledouble "~/UnpackedZipArchive/__MACOSX/._Art Bits"
It will then write an FInfo.json file containing the MacOS type code and creator code of
the file to the current directory. It will also write a TYPE_123_Name.bin file for each
resource containing its raw data (where 123 would be the resource ID number). Finally, it
will write an FInfo.bin file containing the raw file info data (FInfo and FXInfo
data structures). If it is an AppleSingle file containing a data fork, it will also create
a file with the same name as the original AppleSingle file into the current directory, in
which it will write the data fork of the file.
