The

Packit Service |

.Nm

command appeared in
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
.Bx 4.4 .

Packit Service |

.Sh BUGS
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
The
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
.Nm
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
command makes no provisions for hard links.
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
.Pp
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
Files containing magic characters or files without a newline ('\\n') as the
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
last character are not handled correctly with the default format. Use the -b
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
option for binary files.
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
.Pp
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
It is easy to insert trojan horses into
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
.Nm
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
files.
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
It is strongly recommended that all shell archive files be examined
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
before running them through
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
.Xr sh 1 .

Archives produced using this implementation of
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
.Nm
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
may be easily examined with the command:
|
|
Packit Service |
1d0348 |
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
Packit Service |
