git-mailsplit − Simple UNIX mbox splitter program |
git mailsplit [−b] [−f<nn>] [−d<prec>] [−−keep−cr] −o<directory> [−−] [<mbox>|<Maildir>...] |
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. |
<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. |
