# tiffsplit

## Synopsis

tiffsplit src.tif [ prefix ]

## Description

tiffsplit takes a multi-directory (page) TIFF file and creates one or more single-directory (page) TIFF files from it. The output files are given names created by concatenating a prefix, a lexically ordered suffix in the range [aaa–zzz], the suffix `.tif` (e.g. `xaaa.tif`, `xaab.tif`, `…`, `xzzz.tif`). If a prefix is not specified on the command line, the default prefix of `x` is used.

## Options

None.

## Exit status

tiffsplit exits with one of the following values:

0:

> Success

1:

> An error occurred either reading the input or writing results.

## Bugs

Only a select set of “known tags” are copied when splitting.
