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.
