### 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.
