mdfind doesn't exactly have the most informative man page.


Found the query doc.  Not much help - no info about how the literal
strings are encoded or if that's mutable, and the kMDItemFSCreatorCode
attribute is oddly missing from the doc.

But this handy-dandy Perl one-liner will convert the code string to a
number for you; for instance, to get the numeric equivalent of creator
code "MACS":

perl -le 'print unpack("N", pack("A*", "MACS"))'
