Shar2 archiver

Shar2 version 0 [18.11.2019 22:36]. File archiving utility.
Copyright (c) 2019 ConeXware, Inc.  All Rights Reserved.
Written by Eugene D. Shelwien.

Usage:
shar a archive path/  -- concatenate files/subdirs at path into "archive"
shar a - path/        -- output archive data to stdout
shar a0 archive path/ -- store files uncompressed
shar a3 archive path/ -- compress files with zstd level 3 (solid)
!!! atm only a directory can be added to archive
!!! last name without trailing slash is turned to "."
!!! because wildcard support is not implemented yet
shar x archive base -- extract files/dirs from archive to base

shar x - base       -- extract from stdin to base

Notes:

1. File/dir attributes, streams, security info, timestamps are not preserved. Links/junctions are not preserved (added as what they point to).

2. Extracted files or archive file at "a" command are overwritten without questions.

3. shar2 archive format uses signatures to terminate the files and data streams. Thus it's possible to edit the stored archive file, then still extract the archive.
