2.1.3 Controlling the shar headers
----------------------------------

`-n NAME'
`--archive-name=NAME'
     Name of archive to be included in the header of the shar files.
     Also see the `-a' switch further down.

`-s ADDRESS'
`--submitter=ADDRESS'
     The `-s' option allows for overriding the email address for the
     submitter, for when the default is not appropriate.  The
     automatically determined address looks like `USERNAME@HOSTNAME'.

`-a'
`--net-headers'
     Allows automatic generation of headers:

          Submitted-by: ADDRESS
          Archive-name: NAME/partNN

     The NAME must be given with the `-n' switch.  If name includes a
     `/', then `/part' isn't used. 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

`-c'
`--cut-mark'
     Start the shar with a cut line.  A line saying `Cut here' is
     placed at the start of each output file.

`-t'
`--translate'
     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.
