DIRSPLIT(1) User Commands DIRSPLIT(1)NAMEdirsplit - splits directory into multiple with equal sizeSYNOPSISdirsplit [options] < directory | content-list-file >DESCRIPTIONdisplit is designed to for a simple purpose: convert a directory with many multiple files (which are all smaller than a certain medium, eg. DVD) and "splits" it into "volumes", looking for the optimal order to get the best space/medium-number efficiency. The actual action is either adding the files to mkisofs catalogs or real moving of files into new directories (or creating links/symlinks). The method is not limited to files, whole directories can also be handled this way (see various filesystem exploration modes).OPTIONSRun dirsplit -h to get the basic usage info.
