unshar - unpack a shar file
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
unshar [ _-_d directory ] [ _-_c ] [ _-_e | _-_E exit_line ] [
file ... ]
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
Unshar scans mail messages looking for the start of a
shell archive. It then passes the archive through a copy
of the shell to unpack it. It will accept multiple files.
If no files are given, standard input is used.
The _-_d option tells unshar to change directory before
unpacking any files.
The _-_c option is passed through to 'sh' as a parameter to
the unpacked script. Many archive shar scripts (including
those produced by shar 3.40 and newer) use this to indi-
cate that existing files should be overwritten.
Unshar can unpack shar files that are concatenated in one
file with the _-_e option, which separates files by recog-
nizing the "exit 0" string at the beginning of a line.
The _-_E option allows you to specify the string that sepa-
rates archives if "exit 0" isn't appropriate. (Hint: most
.signatures have a "--" on a line right before them). _-_e
is equivalent to _-_E _"_e_x_i_t _0_".
