uuMerge is a command line utility that can be used either to combine
multiple text files into a single text file with a separator line
between the contents of each file; or alternatively to process a
`merged` file ( previously created by uuMerge or other processes ) and
recreate the multiple files.
Files are separated internally with special delimiter line prefixed
by "./ ADD NAME=".
This odd choice of delimiters allows the file to be processed by the
IBM mainframe utility IEBUPDTE.
Alternatively, you can use the `-nice` option to create a `>>>>>>>>>> `
delimiter line instead so it looks nicer for printing. You could also
use any text editor to do a global replace of the delimiter text to any
string you wish. However you will not be able to use uuMerge to extract
files at a later point.
Usage:
1. Merge files in a directory to a single file.
uumerge -merge indir outfile
where indir is the source directory (with optional file masking)
and outfile is the target output file.
2. Restore files.
uumerge -extract infile outdir
where infile is a input file previously created by uuMerge
and outdir is the directory for the target destination
Notes: Use on text files only - results are unpredictable otherwise.
