git-mailsplit(1) ================ NAME ---- git-mailsplit - Simple UNIX mbox splitter program SYNOPSIS -------- 'git mailsplit' [-b] [-f<nn>] [-d<prec>] [--keep-cr] -o<directory> [--] [<mbox>|<Maildir>...] DESCRIPTION ----------- Splits a mbox file or a Maildir into a list of files: "0001" "0002" .. in the specified directory so you can process them further from there. IMPORTANT: Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output patches in the correct order. OPTIONS ------- <mbox>:: Mbox file to split. If not given, the mbox is read from the standard input. <Maildir>:: Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the cur, tmp and new subdirectories. -o<directory>:: Directory in which to place the individual messages. -b:: If any file doesn't begin with a From line, assume it is a single mail message instead of signaling error. -d<prec>:: Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros, different precision can be specified for the generated filenames. -f<nn>:: Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified, start the numbering with 0004. --keep-cr:: Do not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`.
