NAME

git-mailsplit − Simple UNIX mbox splitter program

SYNOPSIS

git mailsplit [−b] [−f<nn>] [−d<prec>] [−−keep−cr] −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.
