SYNOPSIS

       apple_driver CDROM_device > HFS_driver_file


DESCRIPTION

       Apple_driver extracts the information from an Apple (or compatible) CD-
       ROM required for the -hfs-boot-file option to mkhybrid(1).

       The  CDROM_device  is  the  device  name  used  by  the  CD-ROM   (e.g.
       /dev/cdrom).

       The format of the HFS driver file is:


       l  l  .   HFS  CD Label Block  512 bytes Driver Partition Map (for 2048
       byte  blocks)    512  bytes  Driver  Partition  Map   (for   512   byte
       blocks)   512  bytes  Empty     512  bytes Driver Partition    N x 2048
       bytes HFS Partition Boot Block 1024 bytes

       The Perl script hdisk.pl can be used to give a listing of what's  on  a
       Mac CD. hdisk.pl is part of hfsutils.

       By  using  a driver from an Apple CD and copying Apple software to your
       CD, you become liable to obey Apple  Computer,  Inc.  Software  License

       The  driver  code  (both  extracting the driver and creating partitions
       etc.  is based on code from genisoimage  1.05  PLUS  by  Andy  Polyakov
       <appro@fy.chalmers.se>    (see   http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/genisoim-
       age_plus.html)

       This manpage describes the program implementation  of  apple_driver  as
       shipped        by        the       cdrkit       distribution.       See
       http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debburn/ for details. It is a  spinof
       from the original program distributed by the cdrtools project. However,
       the cdrtools developers are not involved in  the  development  of  this
       spinoff  and  therefore  shall  not be made responsible for any problem
       caused by it. Do not try to get support for this program by  contacting
       the original authors.
