💅 desync-chunk 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the desync(1) manual — this page is specifically the desync-chunk glow-up, and it's lowkey iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

desync-chunk — Chunk input file and print chunk boundaries and IDs. periodt. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

desync chunk <file> [flags]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So the way this works: it chunks the input file without storing anything — no cap, nothing saved — and prints a start/length/hash triple for each chunk the file would be split into. 🔥

It's useful to inspect or tune chunking parameters before running 'make'. That's the whole vibe check. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -m, --chunk-size="16:64:256" — min:avg:max chunk size in kb. That's minimum, average, maximum, in kb — the iconic trio. ⭐
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for chunk. Your little "wait, what does this do again?" button. 🫶
  • -S, --start=0 — starting position in bytes. Starts at 0 by default, bestie. 💜

🧬 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🧬

  • --config="" — config file (default $HOME/.config/desync/config.json). 🍓
  • --digest="sha512-256" — digest algorithm, sha512-256 or sha256. Pick your fave. 🌈
  • --verbose[=false] — verbose mode. For when you want the full tea. ☕
