- shc - Shell script compiler
- SHC is a generic shell script compiler. It takes a script, which is specified on
- the command line and produces C source code. The generated source code is then
- compiled and linked to produce a stripped binary.
- The compiled binary will still be dependent on the shell specified in the first
- line of the shell code (i.e shebang: #!/bin/sh or such), thus shc does not
- create completely independent binaries.
- shc itself is not a compiler such as cc, it rather encodes and encrypts a shell
- script and generates C source code with the added expiration capability. It then
- uses the system compiler to compile a stripped binary which behaves exactly like
- the original script. Upon execution, the compiled binary will decrypt and
- execute the code with the shells' -c option.
