unshar

The unshar command is a command-line utility that can be used to unpack shar archives. Shar archives are a type of archive file that is used to distribute shell scripts.

The unshar command is used as follows:

unshar [options] [archive file]
  • options: These are optional flags that can be used to control the behavior of the unshar command.

  • archive file: This is the name of the shar archive file that you want to unpack.

For example, the following command unpacks the shar archive file myscript.shar:

unshar myscript.shar

The unshar command will unpack the shar archive file and create a new file called myscript. The new file will contain the contents of the original shell script.
