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