Synopsis

chunkify [options] -i <infile> -o <outfile>

Description

Takes any file as input and breaks it into equal-size chunks for use with the Join subscriber.

Arguments

-chan <channel>
Channel number to be used for this data type.
-comp <num>
Compression type. Currently not implemented.
-cs <size>
Size of a data chunk in bytes.
-i <infile>
Name of input file containing data to be chunkified.
-memtype <type>
Default memory type (MEMTYPE_ANY, MEMTYPE_DRAM, or MEMTYPE_VRAM defined in mem.h)
-o <outfile>
Output file containing chunkified data.
-ti <time>

Examples

A typical command line for Chunkify is:

chunkify -i Foo.anim -o test.join -type TEST -cs 32768 -chan 4 -ti 0

Chunkify takes the data from input file Foo.anim, chunkifies the data into chunks of 32,768 bytes with timestamp of 0, and outputs the chunkified data in test.join. The channel assigned to the chunks is 4.
