git-mailsplit(1) ================ NAME ---- git-mailsplit - Simple UNIX mbox splitter program SYNOPSIS -------- 'git mailsplit' [-b] [-f] [-d] -o [--] [|...] 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 file to split. If not given, the mbox is read from the standard input. :: Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the cur, tmp and new subdirectories. -o:: 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:: Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros, different precision can be specified for the generated filenames. -f:: Skip the first numbers, for example if -f3 is specified, start the numbering with 0004.
