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.
