.TH SHELL 1 LOCAL .\" $Header: shell.man,v 1.2 87/03/09 16:55:28 rs Exp $ .SH NAME shell \- Interpreter for shell archives .SH SYNOPSIS .B shell [ .B file ] .SH DESCRIPTION This program interprets enough UNIX shell syntax, and command usage, to enable it to unpack many different types of UNIX shell archives, or ``shar's.'' It is primarily intended to be used on non-UNIX systems that need to unpack such archives. .PP .I Shell does .B not check for security holes, and will blithely execute commands like .RS cp /dev/null /etc/passwd .RE which, if executed by the super-user, can be disastrous. .PP The .I shell parser is line-based, where lines are then split into tokens; it is not a true token-based parser. In general, it is best if all .I sh keywords that can appear alone on a line do so, and that compound commands (i.e., using a semi-colon) be avoided. For more details on the syntax, see the source (sorry...). .SH BUGS It is probably easier to write a true portable replacement for /bin/sh than it is to write something which understands all shar formats. .SH SEE ALSO shar(1L).
