BUNDLE(1) General Commands Manual BUNDLE(1) NAME bundle - collect files for distribution SYNOPSIS bundle file ... DESCRIPTION Bundle writes on its standard output a shell script for sh(1) that, when executed, will recreate the original files. Its main use is for distributing small numbers of text files by mail(1). Although less refined than standard archives from ar(1), cpio(1), or tar(1), a bundle file is self-documenting and complete; little prepara- tion is required on the receiving machine. EXAMPLES bundle makefile *.[ch] | mail elsewhere!mark Send a makefile to Mark together with related and files. Upon receiving the mail, Mark may save the file sans postmark, say in gift/horse, then do cd gift; sh horse; make SEE ALSO ar(1), cpio(1), tar(1), mail(1) BUGS Bundle will not create directories and is unsatisfactory for non-ASCII files. Beware of gift horses. BUNDLE(1)
