💖 h5repart — the repartitioning bestie 💖

okay so you found h5repart, a General Commands Manual girlie, and honestly? she's here to rearrange your files. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

h5repart — repartitions a file or family of files. that's the whole vibe. no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

h5repart [-v] [-V] [-[b|m]N[g|m|k]] source_file dest_file

that's it. that's the summoning circle ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, h5repart does a bunch of related things and she does them well:

• splits a single file into a family of files 🍓
• joins a family of files into a single file 🧚
• copies one family of files to another while changing the size of the family members 💫
• and she can also copy a single file to a single file with holes (yes, holes. iconic behavior honestly)

sizes associated with the -b and -m options may be suffixed with g for gigabytes, m for megabytes, or k for kilobytes. so you can just say what you mean and she gets it 💜

file family names include an integer printf format such as %d. that's how she knows which sibling is which, iykyk 🌈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -v — produce verbose output. she will literally tell you everything she's doing. main character energy 👑
• -V — print a version number and exit. quick lil flex, then she's gone 💨
• -bN — the I/O block size, defaults to 1kB. lowkey the most important knob for how she reads and writes 🔥
• -mN — the destination member size or 1GB. this is the one that decides how big each member of the family gets 🎁
• source_file — the name of the source file. where the data lives right now 🏠
• dest_file — the name of the destination files. where the data is moving to, bestie 📦

ngl, don't sleep on the suffixes — g, m, and k are your friends when you're typing sizes fr fr 💀
