$ find ../sharutils-bld/ -name '*.1'
../sharutils-bld/doc/uuencode.1
../sharutils-bld/doc/shar.1
../sharutils-bld/doc/unshar.1
I "find" that it doesn't exist at all.
Why would you even want a man page for something so vacuous?
It is even misnamed. Were it a real program, a better
name would be "uncompress-dummy" anyway. It devolves to:
gzip -d
and errors out if the command line has anything other
than just the "-d".
Here are the first few lines of compress-dummy.in:
