DESCRIPTION

      afile displays the name and Macintosh type and creator of the file arguments. Tests whether the file is an Apple-
      Double header, in which case it checks the corresponding data fork exists, or assumes it is a data fork in  which
      case it looks for the corresponding AppleDouble to find the type/creator information.
 
      afile does not look at any of the extension mapping files such as AppleVolumes.system.

OPTIONS
