✨ NAME ✨

gfsplit — bestie, this one splits a file into a bunch of shares 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gfsplit [OPTIONS] INPUTFILE [OUTPUTSTEM]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, the whole vibe: this generates an N-of-M share of the INPUTFILE. That's it. That's the assignment. ✨

  • -n N — this is the threshold for recombination, aka how many shares you need to put the whole thing back together 👑
  • -m M — the number of shares to generate. Yes, M. Very math. Very demure. 🌈

If you ghost the OUTPUTSTEM, it just defaults to the name of the INPUTFILE, no biggie. And if you don't tell the program literally anything else, it'll hand you a 3-of-5 share by default. iconic behavior honestly 🎀
