shar (GNU sharutils) - create a shell archive Usage: %s [ -<flag> [<val>] | --<name>[{=| }<val>] ]... [<file>...]

If no 'file's are specified, the list of input files is read from standard input. Standard input must not be a terminal.

'shar' creates "shell archives" (or shar files) which are in text format and can be e-mailed. These files may be unpacked later by executing them with '/bin/sh'. The resulting archive is sent to standard out unless the '-o' option is given. A wide range of features provide extensive flexibility in manufacturing shars and in specifying 'shar' "smartness". Archives may be fairly simple ('--vanilla-operation') or essentially a mailable 'tar' archive.

Options may be specified in any order until a 'file' argument is recognised. If the '--intermix-type' option has been specified, more compression and encoding options will be recognized between the 'file' arguments.

Though this program supports 'uuencode'-d files, they are deprecated. If you are e-mailing files, please consider mime-encoded files. If you do 'uuencode', base64 is the preferred encoding method.

shar (GNU sharutils) - create a shell archive Usage: shar [ -<flag> [<val>] | --<name>[{=| }<val>] ]... [<file>...]

Specify compression: -p, --intermix-type specify compression for input files - prohibits the option 'vanilla-operation'

-C, --compactor=PROG specify compaction (compression) program PROG - prohibits the option 'vanilla-operation' - may appear multiple times - it must be known to shar: xz gzip bzip2

-g, --level-of-compression=LEVEL pass LEVEL for compression - it must be in the range: 1 to 9

Specify file encoding methodology: -M, --mixed-uuencode decide uuencoding for each file

-B, --uuencode treat all files as binary - an alternate for mixed-uuencode

-T, --text-files treat all files as text - an alternate for mixed-uuencode

Specifying file selection and output modes:

-o, --output-prefix=str print output to file PREFIX.nn

-l, --whole-size-limit=SIZE split archive, not files, to SIZE - requires the option 'output-prefix' - is scalable with a suffix: k/K/m/M/g/G/t/T - it must lie in one of the ranges: 8 to 1023, or 8192 to 4194304

-L, --split-size-limit=SIZE split archive or files to SIZE - requires the option 'output-prefix' - is scalable with a suffix: k/K/m/M/g/G/t/T - it must lie in one of the ranges: 8 to 1023, or 8192 to 4194304 - an alternate for 'whole-size-limit'

-I, --input-file-list=FILE read file list from FILE

Controlling the shar headers: -n, --archive-name=NAME use NAME to document the archive

-s, --submitter=NAME override the submitter name with NAME

-a, --net-headers output Submitted-by: & Archive-name: headers - requires the option 'archive-name'

-c, --cut-mark start the shar with a cut line

-t, --translate translate messages in the script

Protecting against transmission issues: --no-character-count do not use `wc -c' to check size

-D, --no-md5-digest do not use md5sum digest to verify

-F, --force-prefix apply the prefix character on every line

-d, --here-delimiter=DELIM use DELIM to delimit the files

Producing different kinds of shars: -V, --vanilla-operation produce very simple shars

-P, --no-piping use temporary files between programs

-x, --no-check-existing blindly overwrite existing files

-X, --query-user ask user before overwriting files - prohibits the option 'vanilla-operation'

-m, --no-timestamp do not restore modification times

-Q, --quiet-unshar avoid verbose messages at unshar time

-f, --basename restore in one directory, despite hierarchy

Internationalisation options: --no-i18n do not internationalise

--print-text-domain-dir print directory with shar messages

User feedback/entertainment: -q, --quiet do not output verbose messages

--silent an alias for the 'quiet' option
