  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.

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

  22 OPTIONS
  23 -------
  24 <mbox>::
  25         Mbox file to split.  If not given, the mbox is read from
  26         the standard input.
  27
  28 <Maildir>::
  29         Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the cur, tmp
  30         and new subdirectories.
  31
  32 -o<directory>::
  33         Directory in which to place the individual messages.
  34
  35 -b::
  36         If any file doesn't begin with a From line, assume it is a
  37         single mail message instead of signaling error.
  38
  39 -d<prec>::
  40         Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros,
  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.
  47
  48 --keep-cr::
  49         Do not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`.
  50
  51 --mboxrd::
  52         Input is of the "mboxrd" format and "^>+From " line escaping is
  53         reversed.
