git-mailsplit(1) ================

NAME ---- git-mailsplit - Simple UNIX mbox splitter program

SYNOPSIS --------

’git mailsplit’ [-b] [-f<nn>] [-d<prec>] [--keep-cr] [--mboxrd]
-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 an 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 rn.

--mboxrd
Input is of the "mboxrd" format and "^>+From " line escaping is reversed.
