40 .Nd create a shell archive of files
49 shell script to the standard output which will recreate the file
50 hierarchy specified by the command line operands.
51 Directories will be recreated and must be specified before the
52 files they contain (the

58 command is normally used for distributing files by
63 To create a shell archive of the program
66 .Bd -literal -offset indent
68 shar `find . -print` \&| mail -s "ls source" rick
71 To recreate the program directory:
72 .Bd -literal -offset indent
76 <delete header lines and examine mailed archive>
93 command makes no provisions for special types of files or files containing
97 command cannot handle files without a newline ('\\n')
98 as the last character.
100 It is easy to insert trojan horses into
103 It is strongly recommended that all shell archive files be examined
104 before running them through
106 Archives produced using this implementation of
108 may be easily examined with the command:
109 .Bd -literal -offset indent
110 egrep -v '^[X#]' shar.file
