14 DESCRIPTION
15 -----------
16 Splits a mbox file or a Maildir into a list of files: "0001" "0002" .. in the
17 specified directory so you can process them further from there.
18
19 IMPORTANT: Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output
20 patches in the correct order.

24 <mbox>::
25 Mbox file to split. If not given, the mbox is read from
26 the standard input.

41 different precision can be specified for the generated
42 filenames.
43
44 -f<nn>::
45 Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified,
46 start the numbering with 0004.
