gfsecret 0.5.1                                     2021-07-17                                     GFSEC-SPLIT(1)

gfsec-split  splits  a  file  into  a  number of shares and dispatches the resulting shares onto external
       storage supports.

       The split file can then be temporarily reconstructed using the accompanying program gfsec-use(1).

       gfsec-split \
         /home/alice/mysecret \
         file:///home/alice/.local/share/gfsecret/mysecret \
         label://USBSTICK/mysecret \
         mtp://RF2GB6X704P/Documents/mysecret \

       The  above  example  will  split  the  file  /home/alice/mysecret  into  three  shares:  one on the local
       filesystem, one on the USB mass storage device with the label USBSTICK,  and  one  on  the  MTP-compliant
       device    with    the    serial    RF2GB6X704P.     A    configuration    file   will   be   written   in
       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gfsecret/mysecret allowing to  automatically  reconstruct  the  file  with  gfsec-use(1)
       provided at least one of the two removable supports are present.

-h, --help
              Display the help message.

       -v, --version
              Display the version message.

       -n, --thresholdN
              Specify the minimal number of shares required to re-assemble the split file. Default is 2.

       -c, --configfile
              Write the configuration file (allowing to reconstruct  the  secret  with  gfsec-use(1)  )  to  the
              specified  file.  Default is the basename of the split file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gfsecret.  If FILE
              is a single filename without extension and without a directory part, the file will be placed under
              the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gfsecret directory with a .conf extension.

       -i, --interactive
              Present the user with an interactive menu to specify the shares to create.

       -k, --keep
              By default, gfsec-split will delete the original file once it has  been  successfully  split.  Use
              this  option  to  prevent  the  file  to be deleted.  -o, --outputfile Specify the location where
              gfsec-use will write the reconstructed secret. The default is to use the original location. If set
              to an empty string, no location will be written in  the  configuration  file.   -r,  --restore-cmdcommand  Specify  the  command  that gfsec-use will call to restore the secret.  -d, --destroy-cmdcommand Specify the command that gfsec-use will call to destroy the secret when it  is  no  longer
              needed.   The  same  command  will also be called by gfsec-split to destroy the secret once it has
              been split, unless the -k option has been used.

       -l, --list-supports
              List all the currently available supports which can be used to store shares, then quit.

gfsec-use(1), gfsplit(1), gfcombine(1), libgfshare(3), gfshare(7)

       Shares are described using a URI-like syntax. For each share, the URI indicates a storage  device  and  a
       pathname on that device.

       Supported URI schemes are:

       file:///
              Indicates a file on the local filesystem.

       uuid://uuid/
              Indicates a file on the external volume identified by the specified UUID.

       label://label/
              Indicates a file on the external volume identified by the specified label.

       mtp://serial/
              Indicates a file on the MTP device identified by the specified serial number.

       http://host/
              Indicates a file on a web server identified by its hostname.

       https://host/
              Same as the previous one, but the web server is to be accessed through a secure connection.
