16 Important
17 Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output
18 patches in the correct order.
19
21 <mbox>
22 Mbox file to split. If not given, the mbox is read from the
23 standard input.
24
25 <Maildir>
26 Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the
27 cur, tmp and new subdirectories.
28
29 -o<directory>
30 Directory in which to place the individual messages.
31
32 -b
33 If any file doesn’t begin with a From line, assume it is a single
34 mail message instead of signaling an error.
35
36 -d<prec>
37 Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros, different
38 precision can be specified for the generated filenames.
39
40 -f<nn>
41 Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified, start
42 the numbering with 0004.
43
44 --keep-cr
45 Do not remove \r from lines ending with \r\n.
46
47 --mboxrd
48 Input is of the "mboxrd" format and "^>+From " line escaping is
49 reversed.
