NAME¶

lalfr-split -- split a frame file into component frames

SYNOPSIS¶

lalfr-split [file [name]]

DESCRIPTION¶

The lalfr-split utility reads the given file containing multiple frames and breaks it up into files each containing one frame. If file is a single dash (`-') or absent, lalfr-split reads from the standard input.

If additional arguments are specified, the first is used as the name of the input file which is to be split. If a second additional argument is specified, it is used as a prefix for the names of the files into which the file is split. In this case, each file into which the file is split is named by the prefix followed by a lexically ordered suffix using two characters in the range ``a-z'' followed by the extension ``.gwf''.

If the name argument is not specified, the file is split into lexically ordered files named with the prefix ``x'' and with suffixes as above.

EXAMPLES¶

If file.gwf contains three frames then the command:

produces three files, ``xaa.gwf'', ``xab.gwf'', and ``xac.gwf'', each containing one of the three frames.
