.Sh DESCRIPTION          \" Section Header - required - don't modify
.Ar setfctypes
is a utility for setting the heritage MacOS File Type and Creator Type of files.  It's very simple to use and is about
twice as fast as Apple's SetFile(1) command.  An example of typical usage would be:
.Bl -tag -width -indent  
.It setfctypes -f TEXT -c ttxt myfile.txt
.El                      \" Ends the list
.Pp
It is not neccesary to specify both the -f and -c options.
.Pp
.Ar setfctypes
accepts the following options:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indent  \" Differs from above in tag removed 
.It Fl v                 \"-a flag as a list item
Prints version and author and then exits
.It Fl h
Prints help
.It Fl s
Silent mode.  No errors or problems are reported.
.It Fl c
Followed by a four character string specifying Creator type.
.It Fl f
Followed by a four character string specifying File type.
.El                      \" Ends the list
