ZSchoen <dev@zschoen.dev>
Split text into multiple files by line
USAGE:
zsplit [OPTIONS] <SOURCE> <DESTINATIONS>...
ARGS:
<SOURCE> The file which should be splitted. Use '-' for piping the content to
zsplit
<DESTINATIONS>... A list of destinations for the splitted contents
OPTIONS:
-d, --distributions <DISTRIBUTIONS>...
Defines how many lines are assigned to a destination. The distributions have to be in
the same order as the destinations. It defaults to 1
-f, --line-factor <LINE_FACTOR>
A factor to multiply the grouping size of the distribution [default: 1]
-h, --help
Print help information
-V, --version
Print version information
```
It splits the input into single lines and writes them Round Robin like to the output files.
### Examples
#### Setup
```console
$ seq 0 9 >test_folder/ten.txt; cat test_folder/ten.txt
0
1
2
[...]
8
9
```
#### Simple
```console
$ zsplit test_folder/ten.txt test_folder/{a,b,c}
$ cat test_folder/a
0
3
6
9
$ cat test_folder/b
1
4
7
$ cat test_folder/c
2
5
8
```

#### Unsymmetric Distribution
```console
$ zsplit test_folder/ten.txt test_folder/{a,b,c} --distribution 3 3 # The last distribution value is implicitly 1
$ cat test_folder/a
0
1
2
7
8
9
$ cat test_folder/b
3
4
5
$ cat test_folder/c
6
```

#### Multiple Lines
```console
$ zsplit test_folder/ten.txt test_folder/{a,b,c} --line-factor 2
$ cat test_folder/a
0
1
6
7

2
3
8
9
$ cat test_folder/c
4
5

## CREV - Rust code reviews - Raise awareness
Please, spread this info !\
Open source code needs a community effort to express trustworthiness.\
Start with reading the reviews of the crates you use. Example: [web.crev.dev/rust-reviews/crate/num-traits/](https://web.crev.dev/rust-reviews/crate/num-traits/) \
Than install the CLI [cargo-crev](https://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev)\. Read the [Getting Started guide](https://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev/blob/master/cargo-crev/src/doc/getting_started.md). \
On your Rust project, verify the trustworthiness of all dependencies, including transient dependencies with `cargo crev verify`\
Write a new review ! \
Describe the crates you trust. Or warn about the crate versions you think are dangerous.\
Help other developers, inform them and share your opinion.\
