-.SH DESCRIPTION
-These programs are used by
-.IR ship (8)
-to keep files identical across machines.
-.PP
-.I Mkpkg
-packages
-.I files
-and writes the result on the standard output.
-.I Inspkg
-installs the named packages
-or the standard input.
-.PP
-Non-existent files given to
-.I mkpkg
-are deleted upon installation.
-Directories are copied with all their contents.
-Hard links are reproduced.
-Symbolic links and special files
-are reproduced with the same inode contents.
-File modification and access times and owner and group names
-are reproduced as far as possible.
-Old versions of files are removed before installation:
-.I inspkg
-needs write permission in containing directories.
-.PP
-Options for both
-.I mkpkg
-and
-.IR inspkg :
-.nr xx \w'\f5-K \f2keyfile '
-.TP \n(xxu
-.B -v
-Place running commentary on the standard error file.
-.br
-.ns
-.TP
-.BI -D path1 = path2
-Pretend that any pathname beginning with
-.I path1
-really begins with
-.IR path2 .
-Relative pathnames are extended to full pathnames before comparison.
-.PP
-Options for
-.IR mkpkg ;
-only one may occur:
-.TP \n(xxu
-.BI -x command
-Include in the package instructions to execute the shell
-.I command
-after all files have been installed.
-.I Command
-is unaffected by option
-.BR -D .
-.br
-.ns
-.TP
-.BI -X file
-Include in the package instructions to
-run the shell script
-.I file
-after all files have been installed.

-Write on the standard output a backup package
-that contains whatever was destroyed.
-.PP
-A package is an
-.IR ar (1)
-archive containing an extra
-.SM ASCII
-file named
-.FR Instructions .
-.PP
-.I Seal
-concatenates the named
-.I files
-or the standard input
-onto the standard output in
-an error-detecting form suitable for shipment by
-.IR mail (1).
-.I Unseal
-reverses the process, concatenating copies of all the
-original inputs onto the standard output.
-When
-.IR asd (8)
-uses
-.IR uucp (1),
-it sends sealed packages.
-.PP
-A sealed file is printable, has
-fewer than 128 characters per line, and has no lines
-consisting of a single period.
-The first line is
-.L !<seal>
-and the last one begins with
-.LR !end .
-Other lines, such as mail headers, can be added to
-either end of a sealed file
-without hindering
-.IR unseal .
-.PP
-Options for
-.I seal
-and
-.IR unseal :
-.TP \n(xxu

-checksum calculation.
