.SH DESCRIPTION
splitline may be used to split lines to a maximum specified length. Lines are
cut between spaces and/or tabs, and the <tab> characters are expanded.
An optional suffix may be added at the end of split lines. A space is supplied
between the line and this suffix.

A TeXmode is also provided. It is implicit when the first file has a name of the
form *.tex. In this case, no space is supplied between the suffix -- with a
default value of '%' -- and the line.

The parameters are a list of files, where the name `-' stands
for stdin. No file set means stdin only.

Options are:
.IP "\fB\-o <an_output_file>"
.br
The split file is put on this file. The default is the standard output: stdout.
.IP "\fB\-\m<maximumLength>"
All lines are cut to this length, except if there is no place where to cut.
The default is 80, a good value for the mail.
.IP "\fB\-t<tabulationLength>"
This parameter specifies how long are the tabs.  The default is 8.
.IP "\fB\-\A<optionalSuffix>"
This suffix, if present, is put at the end of each cut line. It may be used
to show where the cuts have been made. For instance, when mailing a TeX file,
this program doesn't recognize the \\verbatim. So lines too long in this
context are split... and adding a suffix ad hoc, e.g. "%Cut", allows the
recipient of the mail to verify the received file. In TeX mode, the default
value is a single %.
.IP "\fB\-s"
Set a silent mode. Normally, at the end of each processed file, the program
displays the number of split lines and an error count. -s suppresses these
messages.
.IP "\fB\-T"
If the first file is *.tex, the TeXmode is set. This flag may be used to set
or reset this TeXmode, according to the default value.
.SH EXAMPLES
    splitfile -A\\%Cut <a-TeX-file> | mail someOne
.br
or:
.br
    mail someOne
.br
    Subject: a TeX File
.br
    ~r ! splitline myFile.tex    (TeXmode does the good job)
.br
    .
.br
.br
The \\ before the '%' is necessary when using the C-shell.
.SH BUGS
When a line is split, spaces are not nicely handled during the end of the line.
