SHAR(1) General Commands Manual SHAR(1)
NAME
shar - shell archiver
SYNOPSIS
shar file ...
EXAMPLES
shar *.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. Extracting the files from a shell archive requires that sed be acces-
sible.
