NAME
gather - gather up the files in a directory for transmission
SYNOPSIS
gather [-s] source_dir [-d] dest_dir [-b] bytes [-f] file
OPTIONS
-b Desired number of bytes per output file
-d Destination directory
-f Base name of output files
-s Source directory
EXAMPLES
gather # Collect files in current dir into 60K archives
gather -d dir # Put the archives in dir
gather -b 90000 # Try to produce 90K archives
gather -s .. -d targ -b 5000
# Try to produce 5K archives
DESCRIPTION
It is often useful to collect all the files in a directory into one or more archives for transmission by mail. This program collects all
the files in the source directory (default: current directory) and puts them into a shar archive. The shar archive is then compressed and
uuencoded. An attempt is made to have the final .uue file be about the given size (default: 60K), but since gather cannot really predict
how much shar will add to the file, how much compress will reduce the file, and how much uue will add again, the sizes can fluctuate. If
the -f file flag is given, the archives will be given the names file_00.uue, file_01.uue etc. If -f is not given, the name of the source
directory is used as the base name. Since 7 characters of suffix are appended, the base name should not exceed 7 characters.
