DESCRIPTION

12       The PHAR file format provides a way to put entire PHP applications into
13       a single file called a "phar" (PHP Archive) for easy  distribution  and
14       installation.
15
16       With the phar command you can create, update or extract PHP archives.

meta-del command

133       Delete meta information of a PHAR entry or a PHAR package.
134
135       If -k is given then the metadata is expected to be  an  array  and  the
136       given index is being deleted.
137
138       If something was deleted the return value is 0 otherwise it is 1.
139
140       Required arguments:
141
142       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.
143

155       used.  You can also specify a particular index using -k. In  that  case
156       the  metadata  is  expected  to  be an array and the value of the given
157       index is returned using echo rather than using serialize. If that index
158       does not exist or no meta data is present then the return value is 1.
159
160       Required arguments:
161
162       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.

174       If  no  input file is specified for meta data then stdin is being used.
175       You can also specify a particular index using  -k.  In  that  case  the
176       metadata is expected to be an array and the value of the given index is
177       being set.  If the metadata is not present or empty a new array will be
178       created.   If  the metadata is present and a flat value then the return
179       value is 1. Also using -k the input is been taken directly rather  then
180       being serialized.
181
182       Required arguments:
183
184       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.

200       list  of input files/dirs.To create an archive that contains PEAR class
201       PHP_Archive then point -p argument to PHP/Archive.php.
202
203       Required arguments:
204
205       -f file        Specifies the phar file to work on.
206

208                      use  then  ONLY  files  and  matching  the given regular
209                      expression are being packed. If -x is given  then  files

217                      #!/usr/bin/php).  The hash mark itself '#!' and the new‐
218                      line character are optional.
219
220       -c algo        Compression algorithm (see COMPRESSION )
221
222       -h hash        Selects the hash algorithm (see HASH )
223
224       -i regex       Specifies a regular expression for input files.
225
226       -l level       Number  of  preceding  subdirectories to strip from file
227                      entries

230                      PHP_Archive).You  can  use '0' or '1' to locate it auto‐
231                      matically using the mentioned pear command.  When  using
232                      '0'  the  command does not error out when the class file
233                      cannot be located.  This  switch  also  adds  some  code
234                      around  the  stub  so that class PHP_Archive gets regis‐
235                      tered  as  phar://  stream  wrapper  if  necessary.  And
236                      finally this switch will add the file phar.inc from this
237                      package and load it to ensure class Phar is present.
238
239       -s stub        Select the stub file.
240
241       -x regex       Regular expression for input files to exclude.
