split command

Splits a package created with makepkg into one or more subset packages, according to a subset XML file.

splitpkg split [/v] [/m] [/j] [/?] /f <subsetfile> /p <sourcepackage> [/s <subsetname>] /pd <destinationdir>

Option	Description
/f	Specifies a subset XML file for defining how the subset packages are to be created.
/p	Specifies the path to the source package. For producing a compilation disc, this parameter can be provided more than once.
/s	Specifies an optional subset name. This option will produce only split packages that have the specified name. Multiple /s parameters can be added.
/pd	Specifies the destination path for the created subset packages.
/v	Enables verbose output of messages to the console.
/m	Specifies the maximum allowable size for a package, in GB. Default is 49 GB. For no restriction on size, pass a value of 0 (zero).
/j	All output from the tools will also emit a JSON object.
/?	Shows this Help text.

validate command

Runs the validation steps for detecting potential issues with splitting of a package. Takes the same parameters as those taken by the splitpkg split command, with the exception of a destination path, which isn't required for validation.

splitpkg validate [options] /f <subsetfile> /p <sourcepackage> [/s <subsetname>]

list command

For the specified subset file, lists the subset package-related information as JSON objects.

splitpkg list [/v] [/?] /f <subsetfile>

Option

Description

Specifies a subset XML file for defining how the subset packages are to be created.

Enables verbose output of messages to the console.
