## NAME

tiffsplit − split a multi-image TIFF into single-image TIFF files

## 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’’ is copied when splitting.
