GIT-MAILSPLIT(1) Git Manual GIT-MAILSPLIT(1)
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.
<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.
