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

-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.
