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 --help

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 availabe: 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.

       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.
