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.
