About:
Machacha is a command-line utility designed to split large files into smaller, manageable segments for easier storage and transfer. It can automatically rejoin these segments to reconstruct the original file when needed. This tool is particularly useful for overcoming file size limitations on various storage media or network protocols.
Key Features:
  • Splits files into smaller, numbered segments
  • Automatically rejoins segments to restore the original file
  • Optional compression of segments during the splitting process
  • Cross-platform compatibility for sharing split archives
Use Cases:
  • Transferring large files across systems with size limits (e.g., email, FTP)
  • Archiving data onto removable media like USB drives or optical discs
  • Segmenting database dumps or log files for easier management
Alternatives:
  • split – Standard Unix utility; Machacha adds integrated rejoining and optional compression features.
  • 7-Zip – Full-featured archiver; Machacha is a simpler, dedicated tool focused purely on splitting and joining.
