Shar (file format)
text:
In the Unix operating system, shar is an archive format created with the Unix shar utility. A shar file is a type of self-extracting archive, because it is a valid shell script, and executing it will recreate the files. To extract the files, only the standard Unix Bourne shell sh is usually required. shar files are also sometimes called "sharchives". Note that the shar command is not specified by the Single Unix Specification, so it is not formally a component of Unix, but a legacy utility.
