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 9ar (see 9c((1)))  or
       tar((1)), a bundle file is self-documenting and complete; little	prepa-
       ration is required 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;	sh horse; mk

SOURCE
       /bin/bundle

SEE ALSO
       9ar (in 9c(1)), tar(1), mail((1))

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

       Beware of gift horses.
