19.7. binhex — 编码和解码 binhex4 文件

源代码: Lib/binhex.py


This module encodes and decodes files in binhex4 format, a format allowing representation of Macintosh files in ASCII. Only the data fork is handled.

binhex 模块定义了下列函数:

binhex. binhex ( input , output )

Convert a binary file with filename input to binhex file output output parameter can either be a filename or a file-like object (any object supporting a write() and close() 方法)。

binhex. hexbin ( input , output )

Decode a binhex file input . input may be a filename or a file-like object supporting read() and close() methods. The resulting file is written to a file named output , unless the argument is None in which case the output filename is read from the binhex file.

还定义了下列异常:

exception binhex. Error

Exception raised when something can’t be encoded using the binhex format (for example, a filename is too long to fit in the filename field), or when input is not properly encoded binhex data.

19.7.1. 注意事项

There is an alternative, more powerful interface to the coder and decoder, see the source for details.

If you code or decode textfiles on non-Macintosh platforms they will still use the old Macintosh newline convention (carriage-return as end of line).
