This is the set of GNU shar utilities.
|
|
|
|
"sharutils" is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL version 3 (or, at your
|
|
option, any later version).
|
|
|
|
'shar' makes so-called shell archives out of many files, preparing them for
|
|
transmission by electronic mail services. 'unshar' helps unpacking shell
|
|
archives after reception, though once the shars are extracted into a file, any
|
|
Bourne derived shell should be able to unpack it, too. The core of both
|
|
programs is initially derived from public domain. Some modules and other code
|
|
sections are freely borrowed from other GNU distributions, bringing 'shar'
|
|
under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
|
|
|
|
'uuencode' prepares a file for transmission over an electronic channel which
|
|
ignores or otherwise mangles the eight bit (high order bit) of bytes.
|
|
'uudecode' does the converse transformation. They are derived from the BSD
|
|
NET/2 distribution, but enchanced with the features described in recent POSIX
|
|
standards. If you have more powerful 'uuencode' and 'uudecode' already
|
|
available, you may want to use './configure --disable-uucode' to prevent their
|
|
installation.
|
|
|
|
The sharutils package is internationalized, including the generated shell
|
|
scripts. As described in the 'ABOUT-NLS' file, you have various options for
|
|
handling this internationalization. This package is special in that it needs
|
|
the GNU message catalog files to be installed. Therefore it might be a good
|
|
idea to always use the GNU gettext functions and not the functions provided by
|
|
your system. This is of course not needed if your system uses GNU gettext in
|
|
its system library.
