dirslicer

dirslicer is a small command line utility that is able to slices and re-slice directories into slices with a given size. It can process directories with a very large number of files, flat or divided into sub-directories. The only condition is that the file names fit into memory.

Given a directory ./source with the files a,b,c,d,e,

dirslice --size 3 ./source ./target

will move the files to this structure in ./target:

 a-c/ a,b,c
 d-e/ d,e

Usage

Usage: dirslice SOURCE TARGET
  SOURCE must be a directory
  TARGET must either be an empty directory or a new location

  -help
        Show help
  -size int
        Number of files per directory (default 1024)
