|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.B bundle
|
||
|
|
.I file ...
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.I Bundle
|
||
|
|
writes on its standard output a shell script for
|
||
|
|
.IR rc (1)
|
||
|
|
or a Bourne shell
|
||
|
|
which, when executed,
|
||
|
|
will recreate the original
|
||
|
|
.IR files .
|
||
|
|
Its main use is for distributing small numbers of text files by
|
||
|
|
.IR mail (1).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Although less refined than standard archives from
|
||
|
|
.IR ar (1)
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.IR tar (1),
|
||
|
|
a
|
||
|
|
.IR bundle
|
||
|
|
file
|
||
|
|
is self-documenting and complete; little preparation is required on
|
||
|
|
the receiving machine.
|
||
|
|

||
|
|

||
|

||
|
|
say in
