NAME
cuebreakpoints - report track breakpoints from a CUE or TOC file
SYNOPSIS
cuebreakpoints [ { -i format | --input-format=format } { --append-gaps
| --prepend-gaps | --split-gaps } ] [ file ... ]
cuebreakpoints --help
DESCRIPTION
cuebreakpoints reports the track breakpoints found in CUE and TOC
files, which are typically created by compact disc ripping software.
The breakpoints are in a format usable by shnsplit (part of the shntool
package).
Three approaches to track pregaps are availabe: append (to previous
track), prepend (to succeeding track), and split (from both preceding
and succeeding tracks). The split approach can result in up to twice
as many breakpoints being reported as there are tracks on the disc.
The first track’s pregap cannot be appended to the previous track, so
it is prefixed to the track in both append and prepend modes. If you
want the track without it, use the --split-gaps option.
If no filenames are specified, cuebreakpoints reads from standard
input, and an input format option must be specified. If one or more
filenames is provided, but the input format option is not specified,
the input format will be guessed based on each file’s suffix (e.g.,
.cue or .toc). This heuristic is case-insensitive.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
displays a usage message and exits.
-i format, --input-format=format
sets the expected format of the input file(s) to format, which
must be either cue or toc.
--append-gaps
appends pregaps to the end of the previous track. This is the
default.
--prepend-gaps
prefixes pregaps to the beginning of each subsequent track.
--split-gaps
separates pregaps from both the preceding and succeeding tracks.
If more than one of --append-gaps, --prepend-gaps, and --split-gaps are
specified, all except the last encountered are ignored.
EXIT STATUS
cuebreakpoints exits with status zero if it successfully generates a
report for each input file, and nonzero if there were problems.
