<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>tiffsplit</i>
takes a multi-directory (page) <small>TIFF</small> file and
creates one or more single-directory (page)
<small>TIFF</small> files from it. The output files are
given names created by concatenating a prefix, a lexically
ordered suffix in the range [<i>aaa</i>-<i>zzz</i>], the
suffix <i>.tif</i> (e.g. <i>xaaa.tif</i>, <i>xaab.tif</i>,
<i>...</i>, <i>xzzz.tif</i>). If a prefix is not specified
on the command line, the default prefix of <i>x</i> is
used.</p>
