-T--text-filesTreat all files as text, regardless of their contents.
-B--uuencodeTreat all files as binary, use uuencode prior to packing. This
increases the size of the archive. The recipient must have
uudecode in order to unpack.
Use of |
-M--mixed-uuencodeMixed mode. Automatically determine if the files are text or binary and archive correctly. Files found to be binary are uuencoded prior to packing. This option is selected by default.
For a file is considered to be a text file, instead of a binary file, all the following should be true simultaneously:
-z--gzipUse gzip and uuencode on all files prior to packing.
The recipient must have uudecode and gzip (used with
-d) in order to unpack.
Usage of -z in net shars will cause you to be flamed off
the earth.
-g level--level-for-gzip=levelWhen doing compression, use -level as a parameter to
gzip. The -g option turns on the -z option
by default. The default value is 9, that is, maximum compression.
-j--bzip2Use bzip2 and uuencode on all files prior to packing.
The recipient must have uudecode and bzip2 (used with
-d) in order to unpack.
Usage of -j in net shars will cause you to be flamed off
to hell.
-Z--compressUse compress and uuencode on all files prior to packing.
The recipient must have uudecode and compress (used
with -d) in order to unpack. Option -C is a synonymous
for -Z, but is deprecated.
Usage of -Z in net shars will cause you to be flamed off
the earth.
-b bits--bits-per-code=bitsWhen doing compression, use -bx as a parameter to
compress. The -b option turns on the -Z
option by default. The default value is 12, foreseeing the memory
limitations of some compress programs on smallish systems, at
unshar time.
