<h3 id="splitconfig">splitconfig</h3>
<p>Parent element for all <code>&lt;split&gt;</code> elements.</p>
<h3 id="split">split</h3>
<p>Configures if and how files should be splitted into multiple parts on <em>push</em>.</p>
<p>The blocksize element configures the size of each part.</p>
<p>The elements filter and minsize specify, in which case the files should be splitted.</p>
<p>Required elements: <code>&lt;blocksize&gt;</code><br />
Optional elements: <code>&lt;filter&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;minsize&gt;</code></p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;splitconfig&gt;
    &lt;!-- split all files with .vmdk file extension that are bigger than 100mb --&gt;
    &lt;split&gt;
        &lt;blocksize&gt;10m&lt;/blocksize&gt;
        &lt;filter&gt;
            &lt;include&gt;\.vmdk$&lt;/include&gt;
        &lt;/filter&gt;
        &lt;minsize&gt;100m&lt;/minsize&gt;
    &lt;/split&gt;
&lt;/splitconfig&gt;</code></pre>
<h3 id="blocksize">blocksize</h3>
<p>Specifies the size of each file part.</p>
<p>Type: size<br />
Example: <code>&lt;blocksize&gt;100k&lt;/blocksize&gt;</code></p>
<h3 id="minsize">minsize</h3>
<p>Specifies the minimal size a file must have for enabling file splitting.</p>
<p>Type: size<br />
Default: 0<br />
Example: <code>&lt;minsize&gt;100m&lt;/minsize&gt;</code></p>
<h3 id="filter">filter</h3>
<p>With the filter element, include and exclude filters can be specified, to control which files are synchronized. The <em>pull</em>, <em>push</em> and <em>archive</em> command apply these filters to file paths. At first it is checked if a file is matching any include filter. If so only files matching not an exclude filter are further processed.</p>
<p>It is also possible to filter resources by tags. Tags can dynamically be applied to individual files. The tag filter elements contains a tag filter expression. Only files that match the filter expression are synchronized.</p>
<p>Note: The file path is relative to the directory path (and WebDAV collection) but always starts with an path separator.</p>
<p>Optional elements: <code>&lt;include&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;exclude&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;tags&gt;</code></p>
<h3 id="include">include</h3>
<p>Controls which files will be included by <em>pull</em> and <em>push</em>. If an include filter is specified, only files matching this filter are included.</p>
<p>Type: regex string<br />
Default: .*<br />
Example:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;filter&gt;
    &lt;include&gt;\.pdf$&lt;/include&gt;
&lt;/filter&gt;</code></pre>
<h3 id="exclude">exclude</h3>
<p>Controls which files will be excluded by <em>pull</em> and <em>push</em>.</p>
<p>Type: regex string<br />
Example:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;filter&gt;
    &lt;exclude&gt;^/secretdir&lt;/exclude&gt;
    &lt;exclude&gt;\.DS_Store$&lt;/exclude&gt;
&lt;/filter&gt;</code></pre>
<h3 id="tags">tags</h3>
<p>Filters resources by tags. Only resources, that are not a collection, are effected. If tags are not stored locally, the pull command still uses the filter.</p>
<p>Filter Syntax:</p>
<pre><code>filter ::= operator? , (tag_list | (&quot;(&quot; , filter , &quot;)&quot;)+)
tag_list ::= tag , (&quot;,&quot; tag)*
operator ::= &quot;&amp;&quot; | &quot;|&quot; | &quot;1&quot; | &quot;0&quot;</code></pre>
<p>Type: tag filter expression<br />
Example:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;filter&gt;
    &lt;!-- sync only resources that have one of this tags --&gt;
    &lt;tags&gt;| (tag1, tag2, tag3)&lt;/tags&gt;
&lt;/filter&gt;</code></pre>
