15 cuebreakpoints reports the track breakpoints found in CUE and TOC
16 files, which are typically created by compact disc ripping software.
17 The breakpoints are in a format usable by shnsplit (part of the shntool
18 package).
19
20 Three approaches to track pregaps are availabe: append (to previous
21 track), prepend (to succeeding track), and split (from both preceding
22 and succeeding tracks). The split approach can result in up to twice
23 as many breakpoints being reported as there are tracks on the disc.
24
25 The first track's pregap cannot be appended to the previous track, so
26 it is prefixed to the track in both append and prepend modes. If you
27 want the track without it, use the --split-gaps option.
28
29 If no filenames are specified, cuebreakpoints reads from standard
30 input, and an input format option must be specified. If one or more
31 filenames is provided, but the input format option is not specified,
32 the input format will be guessed based on each file's suffix (e.g.,
33 .cue or .toc). This heuristic is case-insensitive.
34
36 -h, --help
37 displays a usage message and exits.
38
39 -i format, --input-format=format
40 sets the expected format of the input file(s) to format, which
41 must be either cue or toc.
42
43 --append-gaps
44 appends pregaps to the end of the previous track. This is the
45 default.
46
47 --prepend-gaps
48 prefixes pregaps to the beginning of each subsequent track.
49
50 --split-gaps
51 separates pregaps from both the preceding and succeeding tracks.
52
53 -V, --version
54 displays version information and exits.
55
56 If more than one of --append-gaps, --prepend-gaps, and --split-gaps are
57 specified, all except the last encountered are ignored.
58
60 cuebreakpoints exits with status zero if it successfully generates a
61 report for each input file, and nonzero if there were problems.

64 Cuetools was written by Svend Sorensen. Branden Robinson contributed
65 fixes and enhancements to the utilities and documentation.
