Merge

Create an instance

from filesplit.merge import Merge

merge = Merge(inputdir: str, outputdir: str, outputfilename: str)

inputdir (str, Required) - Path to the original file.

outputdir (str, Required) - Output directory path to write the file splits.

outputfilename (str, Required) - Name to use for the merged file.

With the instance created, the following method can be used on the instance

merge(cleanup: Optional[bool] = False, callback: Optional[Callable] = None) -> None

Merges the split files back into one single file.

Args:

cleanup (bool, Optional): If True, all the split files and manifest file will be purged after successful merge. Defaults to False.

callback (Callable, Optional): Callback function to invoke after merge. The callback function should accept two arguments [func (str, int)] - full path to the merged file, merged file size (bytes). Defaults to None.

Returns:

None

Moreover,

• The manifest file name can be changed by setting manfilename property like merge.manfilename='man'. The manifest file name should match with the one used during the file split process and should be available in the same directory as that of file splits. Default is manifest.
• To forcefully and safely terminate the process set the property terminate to True while the process is running.
