  13 DESCRIPTION
  14 -----------
  15 Splits a mbox file or a Maildir into a list of files: "0001" "0002" ..  in the
  16 specified directory so you can process them further from there.

  18 IMPORTANT: Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output
  19 patches in the correct order.

  21 OPTIONS
  22 -------
  23 <mbox>::
  24         Mbox file to split.  If not given, the mbox is read from
  25         the standard input.
  26
  27 <Maildir>::
  28         Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the cur, tmp
  29         and new subdirectories.
  30
  31 -o<directory>::
  32         Directory in which to place the individual messages.
  33
  34 -b::
  35         If any file doesn't begin with a From line, assume it is a
  36         single mail message instead of signaling error.
  37
  38 -d<prec>::
  39         Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros,
  40         different precision can be specified for the generated
  41         filenames.
  42
  43 -f<nn>::
  44         Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified,
  45         start the numbering with 0004.
  46
  47 --keep-cr::
  48         Do not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`.
