NAME

shar - create a shell archive of files

SYNOPSIS

shar file...

DESCRIPTION

shar reads input files and writes a shell archive to standard output. The shell archive is a shell script, and executing it will recreate the files. File permissions are not preserved for archived files. Extracted files are created with the default file permissions and owner. Directories will be recreated, but directory arguments must be provided before the files they contain.
