DESCRIPTION

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 available: 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  in‐
30       put,  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.

OPTIONS

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

EXIT STATUS

60       cuebreakpoints  exits  with  status zero if it successfully generates a
61       report for each input file, and nonzero if there were problems.
