| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-mailsplit - Simple UNIX mbox splitter program |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git mailsplit' [-b] [-f<nn>] [-d<prec>] -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. |
