SHAR(1)SHAR(1)NAMEshar - shell archiver
SYNOPSISshar file ...
EXAMPLESshar *.c >s # Collect C programs in shell archive
sh <s # Extract files from a shell archive
DESCRIPTION
The named files are collected together into a shell archive written
onto standard output. The individual files can be extracted by redi‐
recting the shell archive into the shell. The advantage of shar over
ar is that shar archives can be read on almost any UNIX system, whereas
numerous, incompatible versions of ar are in widespread use. Extract‐
ing the files from a shell archive requires that sed be accessible.
