Status of this Memo

   This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
   Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
   improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
   Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
   and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract

   This memo describes the format to use when sending Apple Macintosh
   files via MIME [BORE93].  The format is compatible with existing
   mechanisms for distributing Macintosh files, while allowing non-
   Macintosh systems access to data in standardized formats.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>.  Introduction</span>

   Files on the Macintosh consists of two parts, called forks:

   Data fork:       The actual data included in the file.  The Data
                    fork is typically the only meaningful part of a
                    Macintosh file on a non-Macintosh computer system.
                    For example, if a Macintosh user wants to send a
                    file of data to a user on an IBM-PC, she would only
                    send the Data fork.

   Resource fork:   Contains a collection of arbitrary attribute/value
                    pairs, including program segments, icon bitmaps,
                    and parametric values.

   Additional information regarding Macintosh files is stored by the
   Finder in a hidden file, called the "Desktop Database".

   Because of the complications in storing different parts of a
   Macintosh file in a non-Macintosh filesystem that only handles
   consecutive data in one part, it is common to convert the Macintosh
   file into some other format before transferring it over the network.

   The two styles of use are [APPL90]:

   AppleSingle:   Apple's standard format for encoding Macintosh files
                  as one byte stream.
   AppleDouble:   Similar to AppleSingle except that the Data fork is
                  separated from the Macintosh-specific parts by the
                  AppleDouble encoding.

   AppleDouble is the preferred format for a Macintosh file that is to
   be included in an Internet mail message, because it provides
   recipients with Macintosh computers the entire document, including
   Icons and other Macintosh specific information, while other users
   easily can extract the Data fork (the actual data) as it is separated
   from the AppleDouble encoding.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>.  MIME format for Apple/Macintosh-specific file information</span>

   2a.  APPLICATION/APPLEFILE

      MIME type-name:            APPLICATION
      MIME subtype name:         APPLEFILE
      Required parameters:       none
      Optional parameters:       NAME, which must be a "value" as
                                 defined in <a href="./rfc1521">RFC-1521</a> [BORE93].
      Encoding considerations:   The presence of binary data will
                                 typically require use of
                                 Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64
      Security considerations:   See separate section in the document
      Published specification:   Apple-single &amp; Apple-double [APPL90]
      Rationale:                 Permits MIME-based transmission of
                                 data with Apple/Macintosh specific
                                 information, while allowing general
                                 access to non-specific user data.

   2b.  MULTIPART/APPLEDOUBLE

      MIME type-name:            MULTIPART
      MIME subtype name:         APPLEDOUBLE
      Required parameters:       none
      Optional parameters:       NAME, which must be a "value" as
                                 defined in <a href="./rfc1521">RFC-1521</a> [BORE93].
      Encoding considerations:   none
      Security considerations:   See separate section in the document
      Published specification:   Apple-single &amp; Apple-double [APPL90]
      Rationale:                 Permits MIME-based transmission of
                                 data with Apple/Macintosh specific
                                 information, while allowing general
                                 access to non-specific user data.

   2c.  Detail specific to MIME-based usage

      Macintosh documents do not always need to be sent in a special
      format.  Those documents with well-known MIME types and
      non-existent or trivial resource forks can be sent as regular
      MIME body parts, without use of AppleSingle or AppleDouble.

      Documents which lack a data fork must be sent as AppleSingle.

      Unless there are strong reasons not to, all other documents
      should normally be sent as AppleDouble.  This includes documents
      with non-trivial resource forks, and documents without
      corresponding well-known MIME types.

      It may be valuable in some cases to allow the user to choose one
      format over another, either because he disagrees with the
      implementor's definition of "trivial" resource forks, or for
      reasons of his own.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-3" href="#section-3">3</a>.  AppleSingle</span>

   An AppleSingle, version 2 file, is sent as one consecutive stream of
   bytes.  The format is described in [APPL90] with a brief summary in
   <a href="#appendix-A">Appendix A</a>. The one and only part of the file is sent in an
   application/applefile message.

   The first four bytes of an AppleSingle header are, in hexadecimal:
   00, 05, 16, 00.

   The AppleSingle file is binary data.  Hence, it may be necessary to
   perform a Content-Transfer-Encoding for transmission, depending on
   the underlying email transport environment.  The safest encoding is
   Base64, since it permits transfer over the most restricted channels.

   Even though an AppleSingle file includes the original Macintosh
   filename, it is recommended that a name parameter be included on the
   Content-Type header to give the recipient a hint as to what file is
   attached.  The value of the name parameter must be a "value" as
   defined by <a href="./rfc1521">RFC-1521</a> [BORE93].  Note that this restricts the value to
    seven-bit US-ASCII characters.

      Content-Type: application/applefile; name="Computers-1/2-93"

   An AppleDouble, version 2, file is divided in two parts:

   Header:      including the Macintosh resource fork and desktop
                information and
   Data fork:   containing the Macintosh data fork.

   The AppleDouble format is described in [APPL90] with a brief summary
   in <a href="#appendix-B">Appendix B</a>.

   The AppleDouble file itself is sent as a multipart/appledouble MIME
   body-part, which may have only two sub-parts.  The header is sent as
   application/applefile and the data fork as whatever best describes
   it.  For example, is the data for is actually a GIF image, it should
   be sent as image/gif.  If no appropriate Content-Type has been
   registered for the data type, it should be sent as an
   application/octet-stream.

   The first four bytes of an AppleDouble header are, in hexadecimal:
   00, 05, 16, 07.

   The AppleDouble header is binary data.  Hence, it may be necessary to
   perform a Content-Transfer-Encoding for transmission, depending on
   the underlying email transport environment.  The safest encoding is
   Base64, since it permits transfer over the most restrictive channels.

   Even though an AppleDouble file includes the original Macintosh
   filename, it is recommended that a name parameter be included on the
   Content-Type header of both the header and data parts of the
   AppleDouble file to give the recipient a hint as to what file is
   attached.  The value of the name parameter must be a "value" as
   defined by <a href="./rfc1521">RFC-1521</a> [BORE93].  Note that this restricts the value to
   seven-bit US-ASCII characters.

   4a.  AppleDouble example

      Content-Type: multipart/appledouble; boundary=mac-part

      --mac-part
      Content-Type: application/applefile; name="My-new-car"

          [The AppleDouble header goes here]

      --mac-part
      Content-Type: image/gif;

          [The data fork goes here]

      --mac-part--

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="appendix-A" href="#appendix-A">Appendix A</a>.  The AppleSingle format</span>

   In the AppleSingle format, a file's contents and attributes are
   stored in a single file in the foreign file system.  For example,
   both forks of a Macintosh file, the Finder information, and an
   associated comment are arranged in a single file with a simple
   structure.

   An AppleSingle file consists of a header followed by one or more data
   entries.  The header consists of several fixed fields and a list of
   entry descriptors, each pointing to a data entry.  Each entry is
   optional and may or may not appear in the file.

    AppleSingle file header:

   Field               Length

   Magic number         4 bytes
   Version number       4 bytes
   Filler              16 bytes
   Number of entries    2 bytes

    Entry descriptor for each entry:

   Entry ID             4 bytes
   Offset               4 bytes
   Length               4 bytes

   Byte ordering in the file fields follows MC68000 conventions, most
   significant byte first.  The fields in the header file follow the
   conventions described in the following sections.

   Magic number
      This field, modelled after the UNIX magic number feature,
      specifies the file's format.  Apple has defined the magic number
      for the AppleSingle format as $00051600 or 0x00051600.

   Version number
      This field denotes the version of AppleSingle format in the event
      the format evolves (more fields may be added to the header).  The
      version described in this note is version $00020000 or
      0x00020000.

   Filler
      This field is all zeros ($00 or 0x00).

   Number of entries
      This field specifies how many different entries are included in



<span class="grey">Faltstrom, Crocker &amp; Fair                                       [Page 7]</span></pre>

      the file.  It is an unsigned 16-bit number.  If the number of
      entries is any number other than 0, then that number of entry
      descriptors immediately follows the number of entries field.

   Entry descriptors

      The entry descriptor is made up of the following three fields:

      Entry ID:   an unsigned 32-bit number, defines what the entry is.
                  Entry IDs range from 1 to $FFFFFFFF. Entry ID 0 is
                  invalid.
      Offset:     an unsigned 32-bit number, shows the offset from the
                  beginning of the file to the beginning of the entry's
                  data.
      Length:     an unsigned 32-bit number, shows the length of the
                  data in bytes.  The length can be 0.

   Predefined entry ID's

      Apple has defined a set of entry IDs and their values as follows:

      Data Fork              1 Data fork
      Resource Fork          2 Resource fork
      Real Name              3 File's name as created on home file
                               system
      Comment                4 Standard Macintosh comment
      Icon, B&amp;W              5 Standard Macintosh black and white icon
      Icon, Colour           6 Macintosh colour icon
      File Dates Info        8 File creation date, modification date,
                               and so on
      Finder Info            9 Standard Macintosh Finder information
      Macintosh File Info   10 Macintosh file information, attributes
                               and so on
      ProDOS File Info      11 ProDOS file information, attributes and
                               so on
      MS-DOS File Info      12 MS-DOS file information, attributes and
                               so on
      Short Name            13 AFP short name
      AFP File Info         14 AFP file, information, attributes and so
                               on
      Directory ID          15 AFP directory ID

      Apple reserves the range of entry IDs from 1 to $7FFFFFFF. The
      rest of the range is available for applications to define their
      own entries.  Apple does not arbitrate the use of the rest of the
      range.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="appendix-B" href="#appendix-B">Appendix B</a>.  The AppleDouble format</span>

   The AppleDouble format uses two files to store data, resources and
   attributes.  The AppleDouble Data file contains the data fork and the
   AppleDouble Header file contains the resource fork.

   The AppleDouble Data file contains the standard Macintosh data fork
   with no additional header.  The AppleDouble Header file has exactly
   the same format as the AppleSingle file, except that it does not
   contain a Data fork entry.  The magic number in the AppleDouble
   Header file differs from the magic number in the AppleSingle Header
   file so that an application can tell whether it needs to look in
   another file for the data fork.  The magic number for the AppleDouble
   format is $00051607 or 0x00051607.

   The entries in the AppleDouble Header file can appear in any order;
   however, since the resource fork is the entry that is most commonly
   extended (after the data fork), Apple recommends that the resource
   fork entry to be placed last in the file.  The data fork is easily
   extended because it resides by itself in the AppleDouble Data file.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="appendix-C" href="#appendix-C">Appendix C</a>.  applefile.h</span>

   This is an example of a header file for the language C which can be
   used when parsing the data in either an AppleSingle file or
   AppleDouble header.

   The file is written by Lee Jones.  Distribution is unlimited.
