+.Sh NAME
+.Nm shar
+.Nd create a shell archive of files
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm shar Ar
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Shar
+writes an
+.Xr sh 1
+shell script to the standard output which will recreate the file
+hierarchy specified by the command line operands.
+Directories will be recreated and must be specified before the
+files they contain (the
+.Xr find 1
+utility does this correctly).
+.Pp
+.Nm Shar
+is normally used for distributing files by
+.Xr ftp 1
+or
+.Xr mail 1 .
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr compress 1 ,
+.Xr mail 1 ,
+.Xr uuencode 1 ,
+.Xr tar 1
+.Sh BUGS
+.Nm Shar
+makes no provisions for special types of files or files containing
+magic characters.
+.Pp
+It is easy to insert trojan horses into
+.Nm shar
+files.
+It is strongly recommended that all shell archive files be examined
+before running them through
+.Xr sh 1 .
+Archives produced using this implementation of
+.Nm shar
+may be easily examined with the command:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+egrep -v '^[X#]' shar.file
+.Ed
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+To create a shell archive of the program
+.Xr ls 1
+and mail it to Rick:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+cd ls
+shar `find . -print` \&| mail -s "ls source" rick
+.Ed
+.Pp
+To recreate the program directory:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+mkdir ls
+cd ls
+\&...
+<delete header lines and examine mailed archive>
+\&...
+sh archive
+.Ed
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appears in
+.Bx 4.4 .
