RLESPLIT(1) 1 (May 12, 1987) RLESPLIT(1)
NAME
rlesplit - split a file of concatenated RLE images into
separate image files
SYNOPSIS
rlesplit [ -n number [ digits ] ] [ -o prefix ] [ infile ]
DESCRIPTION
This program will split a file containing a concatenated
sequence of RLE(5) images into separate files, each
containing a single image. The output file names will be
constructed from the input file name or a specified prefix,
and a sequence number. If an input infile is specified,
then the output file names will be in the form
"rlefileroot.#.rle", where rlefileroot is infile with any
".rle" suffix stripped off. If the option -o prefix is
specified, then the output file names will be of the form
"prefix.#.rle". If neither option is given, then the output
file names will be in the form "#.rle". Input will be read
from infile if specified, from standard input, otherwise.
File names will be printed on the standard error output as
they are generated.
The option -n allows specification of an initial sequence
number, and optionally the number of digits used for the
sequence number. By default, numbering starts at 1, and
numbers are printed with 3 digits (and leading zeros).
