2.1.5 headers options
---------------------

Controlling the shar headers.

archive-name option (-n).
.........................

This is the "use `name' to document the archive" option.  This option
takes a string argument `NAME'.  Name of archive to be included in the
subject header of the shar files.  See the `--net-headers' option.

submitter option (-s).
......................

This is the "override the submitter name" option.  This option takes a
string argument `WHO@WHERE'.  `shar' will normally determine the
submitter name by querying the system.  Use this option if it is being
done on behalf of another.

net-headers option (-a).
........................

This is the "output submitted-by: & archive-name: headers" option.

This option has some usage constraints.  It:
   * must appear in combination with the following options:
     archive-name.

   Adds specialized email headers:
    Submitted-by: who@where
    Archive-name: name/part##
   The who@where is normally derived, but can be specified with the
`--submitter' option.  The name must be provided with the
`--archive-name' option.  If the archive name includes a slash (`/')
character, then the `/part##' is omitted.  Thus `-n xyzzy' produces:
    xyzzy/part01
    xyzzy/part02

while `-n xyzzy/patch' produces:
    xyzzy/patch01
    xyzzy/patch02

and `-n xyzzy/patch01.' produces:
    xyzzy/patch01.01
    xyzzy/patch01.02

cut-mark option (-c).
.....................

This is the "start the shar with a cut line" option.  A line saying
'Cut here' is placed at the start of each output file.

translate option (-t).
......................

This is the "translate messages in the script" option.  Translate
messages in the script.  If you have set the `LANG' environment
variable, messages printed by `shar' will be in the specified language.
The produced script will still be emitted using messages in the lingua
franca of the computer world: English.  This option will cause the
script messages to appear in the languages specified by the `LANG'
environment variable set when the script is produced.
