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
\rfrom lines ending with\r\n. --mboxrd-
Input is of the “mboxrd” format and “^>+From “ line escaping is reversed.
