  13DESCRIPTION
  14-----------
  15Splits a mbox file or a Maildir into a list of files: "0001" "0002" ..  in the
  16specified directory so you can process them further from there.
  17
  18IMPORTANT: Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output
  19patches in the correct order.

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