.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
.EX "shar *.c >s" "Collect C programs in shell archive"
|
|
.EX "sh <s" "Extract files from a shell archive"
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The named files are collected together into a shell archive written onto
|
|
standard output.
|
|
The individual files can be extracted by redirecting the shell archive into
|
|
the shell.
|
|
The advantage of
|
|
.I shar
|
|
over
|
|
.I ar
|
|
is that \fIshar\fP archives can be read on almost any
|
|
\s-2UNIX\s+2
|
|
system, whereas numerous, incompatible versions of
|
|
.I ar
|
|
are in widespread use.
|
|
Extracting the files from a shell archive requires that
|
|
.I sed
|
|
be accessible.
