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 -h | --help
cuebreakpoints -V | --version
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 available: 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.
- -V, --version
- displays version information and exits.
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.
