slice - Simple file splitter

[[TOC]]

Overview

Slice is pretty straightforward: it slice your files.

Requirements

This package requires at least Python 3.9 and humanfriendly 10.0 package.

If you want to run tests, Slice needs PyTest 7.0.1

Installation

This package is hosted on PyPi repository.

To install it, run

python -m pip install slice-shukuru --upgrade

Usage

Once installed, just run it with

python -m slice

This program is far from being complicated to use, have a look to CLI help:

usage: slice [-h] [-v] [-V] (-s CHUNK SIZE | -c PARTS COUNT) file

Simple file splitter

positional arguments:
  file                  Path to file you want to be sliced

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose         Output process on stdout
  -V, --version         Output program version and exit
  -s CHUNK SIZE, --size CHUNK SIZE
                        Numeric or human-readable chunk size value (1024, 16MB, 1GiB, ...)
  -c PARTS COUNT, --count PARTS COUNT
                        Total parts count to slice the file in

TL;DR: -s optional parameter to slice on parts size, -c to slice on part total count.

Actually, there's no option to concatenate parts and "re-build" the original file. You have to use UNIX cat command to do so.

cat *.[0-9] > original_filename
