1 makeself.sh is a small shell script that generates a self-extractable
2 compressed tar archive from a directory.
3 The resulting file appears as a shell script (many of those have a
4 .run suffix), and can be launched as is.
5 The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and
6 an optional arbitrary command will be executed (for example an
7 installation script). This is pretty similar to archives generated
8 with WinZip Self-Extractor in the Windows world.
9 Makeself archives also include checksums for integrity self-validation
10 (CRC and/or MD5/SHA256 checksums).
