# unpost(1)

extract POST resources from Mac PostScript file

## NAME

unpost - extract POST resources from Mac PostScript file

## SYNOPSIS

**unpost** \[ **-b** \] \[ **-r** \] *input* \[ *output* \]

## DESCRIPTION

**unpost** extracts POST resources from a Macintosh PostScript file and create a PFA (hexadecimal) or PFB (binary) file.  The file *input* should be seekable and be in MacBinary (I or II) format or be a raw resource fork.  If the file *output* is not specified output goes to the standard output.

## OPTIONS

- **-b**

  Output in PFB (binary) format.  The block lengths are the same as the POST resource block lengths.  If you need specific block lengths then output in PFA format and use [**t1binary**(1)](/t1binary/1.md) instead.

- **-r**

  Indicates that the input is a raw resource fork.  Without this, the input is assumed to be in MacBinary (I or II) format.

## SEE ALSO

## BUGS

None known.
