NAME
       tiffsplit - split a multi-image TIFF into single-image TIFF files

SYNOPSIS
       tiffsplit src.tif [prefix]

DESCRIPTION
       tiffsplit splits a multi-directory (page) TIFF file to create one or more single-directory (page) TIFF files. The output filenames are cre-
       ated by concatenating a prefix, a lexically ordered suffix in the range [aa-zz], and the suffix .tif. For example, xaa.tif,  xab.tif,  ...,
       xzz.tif. If a prefix is not specified on the command line, the default prefix x is used.

OPTIONS
       None

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       src.tif	       The name of the input file.

       prefix	       The prefix used to create the output filenames.
