NAME
     yencode - Usenet file encoder

SYNOPSIS
     yencode   [-d,   --debug]	 [-e,	--extension=ext]   [-f,   --force]  [-l,
     --line=length] [-m, --multipart=size] [-o, --output=dir] [-p, --paths] [-q,
     --quiet] [--sfv=name] [--crc=name] [--help] [--version] FILE ...

DESCRIPTION
     yencode encodes the files specified on the command line  according  to  the
     yEnc Usenet encoding format.

OPTIONS
     -d, --debug
	    Write messages useful for debugging to stderr while program is oper-
	    ating.

     -e, --extension=ext
	    Use  ext  as  the  file extension for encoded files, instead of ync,
	    which is the default.

     -f, --force
	    If the output file already exists, overwrite the existing file with-
	    out prompting.

     -l, --line=length
	    Create encoded lines of length characters, instead of 128, which  is
	    the default.

     -m, --multipart=size
	    Create  multipart  output,	with  each file containing size bytes of
	    data.  size may be specified in bytes, or in a human-friendly format
	    such as 200k or 2M.  If -m is specified without a  size,  each  part
	    defaults to 620k.

     -o, --output=dir
	    Create output in dir instead of the current directory.

     -p, --paths
	    Save  relative pathnames to files in the encoded data.  For example,
	    running yencode files/new/bigfile.mp3 will by default save the file-
	    name as bigfile.mp3.  If the -p option is  specified,  the	filename
	    will be saved as files/new/bigfile.mp3.

     -q, --quiet
	    Try  to  avoid  writing  output while running.  The only output that
	    will occur is error messages.

     --sfv=name
	    Create a yencoded SFV file containing the  checksum  of  each  input
	    file.  If name is specified, then that name will be used as a prefix
	    for the SFV file.

     --crc=name
	    Create  a  yencoded  CRC  file containing the checksum of each input
	    file.  If name is specified, then that name will be used as a prefix
	    for the CRC file.  Note that this CRC file may  or	may  not  comply
	    with the "standard" for what a .crc file is supposed to contain.

     --help Display program help and exit.

     --version
	    Output version number and exit.
