Xin v1.0.0
----------

Xin is covered by the GNU GPL. See the file "COPYING" for details.

Xin was written to split and pipe data to a command without needing any
temporary files. I use it to burn multiple volume cpio backups direct to
CD without needing huge amount of space free for the disc images.

For information on using xin read the man page.

Installing
----------

There is an RPM spec file contained in the archive, so rpm users can run:

# rpm -tb xin-1.0.0.tar.gz
# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/xin-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm

Otherwise you can compile from the source.

Xin will use long options if getopt_long() exists on your system.
Recent versions of Glibc under Linux have it, on other systems you may
need to install GU getopt for  that functionality. Xin will work
equally well without GNU getopt.

To install:

# ./configure
# make
# make install

On BSD with GNU getopt installed separately you may need to use a
different CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS:

# CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include README=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure
# make
# make install

Feel free to email me if you have any problems, comments or suggestions.
