This is the set of GNU shar utilities. This port installs them
|
|
|
|
|
with the letter "g" prepended to their names, to avoid conflict
|
|
|
|
|
with the FreeBSD base system. The uudecode and uuencode commands
|
|
|
|
|
are omitted (BSD versions are present in the base system). The
|
|
|
|
|
shar utilities deal with shar files, so-called shell archives, which
|
|
|
|
|
are scripts suitable for transmission by e-mail or Usenet.

|
When a shar file is executed, the files it contains are unpacked
|
|
|
|
|
without the need for any software other than the shell itself and
|
|
|
|
|
sed. Because they are scripts, shell archives from strangers should
|
|
|
|
|
be read before executing them, to check for harmful commands.
