# Split package (splitpkg.exe)

> Split package (splitpkg.exe)

Builds subset packages from a master package.

| Column 1 |
| - |
| splitpkg command \[/?] |

| Option | Description |
| - | - |
| command | Specifies the command to be performed. Supported commands are split, validate, and list. |
| /? | Shows Help text. To show Help for a specific command, use SPLITPKG \<command> /? |

## Commands

* [split command](#ID4EOB)
* [validate command](#ID4END)
* [list command](#ID4EAE)

### split command

Splits a package created with [makepkg](/build/core-features/common/packaging/deployment/makepkg.md) into one or more subset packages, according to a subset XML file.

| Column 1 |
| - |
| splitpkg split \[/v] \[/m] \[/j] \[/?] /f \<subsetfile> /p \<sourcepackage> \[/s \<subsetname>] /pd \<destinationdir> |

| Option | Description |
| - | - |
| /f | Specifies a subset XML file for defining how the subset packages are to be created. |
| /p | Specifies the path to the source package. For producing a compilation disc, this parameter can be provided more than once. |
| /s | Specifies an optional subset name. This option will produce only split packages that have the specified name. Multiple /s parameters can be added. |
| /pd | Specifies the destination path for the created subset packages. |
| /v | Enables verbose output of messages to the console. |
| /m | Specifies the maximum allowable size for a package, in GB. Default is 49 GB. For no restriction on size, pass a value of 0 (zero). |
| /j | All output from the tools will also emit a JSON object. |
| /? | Shows this Help text. |

### validate command

Runs the validation steps for detecting potential issues with splitting of a package. Takes the same parameters as those taken by the `splitpkg split` command, with the exception of a destination path, which isn't required for validation.

| Column 1 |
| - |
| splitpkg validate \[options] /f \<subsetfile> /p \<sourcepackage> \[/s \<subsetname>] |

### list command

For the specified subset file, lists the subset package-related information as JSON objects.

| Column 1 |
| - |
| splitpkg list \[/v] \[/?] /f \<subsetfile> |

| Option | Description |
| - | - |
| /f | Specifies a subset XML file for defining how the subset packages are to be created. |
| /v | Enables verbose output of messages to the console. |
| /? | Shows this Help text. |

## Package schema

The following schema is used to define how the package is to be split.
