2.1.3 Controlling the shar headers

-n name

--archive-name=name

Name of archive to be included in the header of the shar files. Also see the -a switch further down.

-s address

--submitter=address

The -s option allows for overriding the email address for the submitter, for when the default is not appropriate. The automatically determined address looks like `username@hostname'.

-a

--net-headers

Allows automatic generation of headers:

Submitted-by: address Archive-name: name/partnn

The name must be given with the -n switch. If name includes a `/', then `/part' isn't used. Thus `-n xyzzy' produces:

xyzzy/part01 xyzzy/part02

while `-n xyzzy/patch' produces:

xyzzy/patch01 xyzzy/patch02

and `-n xyzzy/patch01.' produces:

xyzzy/patch01.01 xyzzy/patch01.02

-c

--cut-mark

Start the shar with a cut line. A line saying `Cut here' is placed at the start of each output file.

-t

--translate

Translate messages in the script. If you have set the LANG environment variable, messages printed by shar will be in the specified language. The produced script will still be emitted using messages in the lingua franca of the computer world: English. This option will cause the script messages to appear in the languages specified by the LANG environment variable set when the script is produced.
