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.
