cuebreakpoints(1)	     General Commands Manual	       cuebreakpoints(1)

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 break-
     points 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 de-
	    fault.

     --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.
