41 .Nd create a shell archive of files
50 shell script to the standard output which will recreate the file
51 hierarchy specified by the command line operands.
52 Directories will be recreated and must be specified before the
53 files they contain (the
55 utility does this correctly).
59 command is normally used for distributing files by
71 command makes no provisions for special types of files or files containing
75 command cannot handle files without a newline ('\\n')
76 as the last character.
78 It is easy to insert trojan horses into
81 It is strongly recommended that all shell archive files be examined
82 before running them through
84 Archives produced using this implementation of
86 may be easily examined with the command:
87 .Bd -literal -offset indent
88 egrep -v '^[X#]' shar.file
91 To create a shell archive of the program
94 .Bd -literal -offset indent
96 shar `find . -print` \&| mail -s "ls source" rick
99 To recreate the program directory:
100 .Bd -literal -offset indent
104 <delete header lines and examine mailed archive>
