-
- 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.
