shar1
Create a shell archive of files
Usage
shar file ...
Overview
shar writes an sh(1) shell script to the standard output which will recreate the file hierarchy specified by the command line operands. Directories will be recreated and must be specified before the files they contain (the find(1) utility does this correctly).
shar is normally used for distributing files by ftp(1) or mail(1).
Examples
To create a shell archive of the program ls(1) and mail it to Rick:
$ cd ls $ shar `find . -print` | mail -s "ls source" rick
To recreate the program directory:
$ mkdir ls $ cd ls ... <delete header lines and examine mailed archive> ... $ sh archive
