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 breakpoints 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 default.

       --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.
