NAME
       yencode - Usenet file encoder

SYNOPSIS
       yencode [-d, --debug] [-e, --extension=ext] [-f, --force] [-l,
       --line=length] [-m, --multipart=size] [-o, --output=dir] [-p, --paths]
       [-q, --quiet] [--sfv=name] [--crc=name] [--help] [--version] FILE ...

DESCRIPTION
       yencode encodes the files specified on the command line according to
       the yEnc Usenet encoding format.

OPTIONS
       -d, --debug
              Write messages useful for debugging to stderr while program is
              operating.

       -e, --extension=ext
              Use ext as the file extension for encoded files, instead of ync,
              which is the default.

       -f, --force
              If the output file already exists, overwrite the existing file
              without prompting.

       -l, --line=length
              Create encoded lines of length characters, instead of 128, which
              is the default.

       -m, --multipart=size
              Create multipart output, with each file containing size bytes of
              data.  size may be specified in bytes, or in a human-friendly
              format such as 200k or 2M.  If -m is specified without a size,
              each part defaults to 620k.

       -o, --output=dir
              Create output in dir instead of the current directory.

       -p, --paths
              Save relative pathnames to files in the encoded data.  For
              example, running yencode files/new/bigfile.mp3 will by default
              save the filename as bigfile.mp3.  If the -p option is
              specified, the filename will be saved as files/new/bigfile.mp3.

       -q, --quiet
              Try to avoid writing output while running.  The only output that
              will occur is error messages.

       --sfv=name
              Create a yencoded SFV file containing the checksum of each input
              file.  If name is specified, then that name will be used as a
              prefix for the SFV file.

       --crc=name
              Create a yencoded CRC file containing the checksum of each input
              file.  If name is specified, then that name will be used as a
              prefix for the CRC file.  Note that this CRC file may or may not
              comply with the "standard" for what a .crc file is supposed to
              contain.

       --help Display program help and exit.

       --version
              Output version number and exit.
