HFS is the "Hierarchical File System" used on modern Macintosh computers.
With this package, you can read and write Macintosh-formatted media such as
floppy disks, CD-ROMs, and SCSI hard disks on most UNIX platforms. You can
also format raw media into an HFS volume.
This package contains a number of different tools:
- Several command-line programs (hmount, hls, hcopy, et al.)
- Tk-based front-end for browsing and copying files through a
variety of transfer modes (MacBinary, BinHex, text, etc.)
- Tcl package and interface for scriptable access to volumes
- C library for low-level access to volumes
Support for Apple's new Extended Format (HFS+) is currently not available.

===> The following configuration options are available for hfsutils-3.2.6_3:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
TCLTK=off: Build tools that require Tcl/Tk support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
- Trim Makefile header per recent agreements
- Define LICENSE (GPLv2), reword COMMENT line
- Install several PORTDOCS (like Gentoo)
- Make Tcl/Tk support optional and default to off
- Fix the build with Tcl 8.6 (obtained from Gentoo)
- Install hfsck(1) utility (sadly, no manpage)
- Cleanup and reformat port description while here
This port (along with similar `emulators/hfs') should probably be moved to
sysutils; `sysutils/hfsexplorer' already lives there.
For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.
