18.13. binhex — 对binhex4文件进行编码和解码

This module encodes and decodes files in binhex4 format, a format allowing representation of Macintosh files in ASCII. On the Macintosh, both forks of a file and the finder information are encoded (or decoded), on other platforms only the data fork is handled.

注解

In Python 3.x, special Macintosh support has been removed.

binhex 模块定义了以下功能：

binhex.binhex(input, output)

将带有文件名 输入 的二进制文件转换为binhex文件 输出 。输出参数可以是文件名或类文件对象（ write() 和 close() 方法的任何对象）。

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 omitted in which case the output filename is read from the binhex file.

还定义了以下异常：

exception binhex.Error

当无法使用binhex格式编码某些内容时（例如，文件名太长而无法放入文件名字段中），或者输入未正确编码的binhex数据时，会引发异常。

模块 binascii

支持模块，包含ASCII到二进制和二进制到ASCII转换。

18.13.1. 注释

还有一个替代的、功能更强大的编码器和解码器接口，详细信息请参见源代码。

如果您在非Macintosh平台上编码或解码文本文件，它们仍将使用旧的Macintosh换行符约定（回车符作为行尾）。

As of this writing, hexbin() appears to not work in all cases.
