NAME
unshar - extract files from shell archive(s)
SYNTAX
unshar [-t] [-b] [-v] [-xfile] [file(s)]
OPTIONS
Options are processed by getopts(3).
-t Do not extract files, just list the files in the
archive(s).
-b Extract files from the archive(s) brutally, with no
regard at all to things such as testing if the file
exists, or chmoding the file etc. Currently this is
the only method supported, but other methods would
be easy to add.
-v Be verbose. Used only for debugging purposes.
-xfile Extract the named file from the shell archive. If
the -x flag is used, only those files specified will
be extracted.
DESCRIPTION
Unshar extracts files from one or more shell archives, and
places them in the current directory. It does no forking to
achieve this, and is relatively fast. If no file name is
given as an agrumemt, unshar will use standard input. At
the moment unshar is very simple-minded, and does its
extraction rather brutally. The code has been written to
allow more intelligent unarchiving methods to be added.
