- unshar - extract files from shell archive(s)
- SSSSYYYYNNNNTTTTAAAAXXXX
- unshar [-t] [-b] [-v] [-xfile] [file(s)]
- OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
- Options are processed by ggggeeeettttooooppppttttssss((((3333))))....
- ----tttt Do not extract files, just list the files in the
- archive(s).
- ----bbbb 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.
- ----vvvv Be verbose. Used only for debugging purposes.
- ----xxxxffffiiiilllleeee Extract the named file from the shell archive. If the -x
- flag is used, only those files specified will be
- extracted.

- _U_n_s_h_a_r 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, _u_n_s_h_a_r will use standard input. At the moment _u_n_s_h_a_r
- is very simple-minded, and does its extraction rather brutally.
- The code has been written to allow more intelligent unarchiving
- methods to be added.
