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 rc(1) or a
       Bourne shell which, 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)  or  tar(1),  a
       bundle file is self-documenting and complete; little preparation is re‐
       quired on the receiving machine.

EXAMPLES
       bundle mkfile *.[ch] | mail kremvax!boris
              Send a makefile to Boris together with related and files.   Upon
              receiving  the  mail, Boris may save the file sans postmark, say
              in gift/horse, then do

       cd gift; rc horse; mk

SOURCE
       /rc/bin/bundle

SEE ALSO
       ar(1), tar(1), mail(1)

BUGS
       Bundle will not create directories and is unsatisfactory  for  non-text
       files.

       Beware of gift horses.
