NAME
       desync-make - Chunk input file and create index



SYNOPSIS
       desync make <index> <file> [flags]



DESCRIPTION
       Creates chunks from the input file and builds an index. If a chunk
       store is provided with -s, such as a local directory or S3 store, it
       splits the input file according to the index and stores the chunks. Use
       '-' to write the index to STDOUT.

       -b, --error-retry-base-interval=500ms   initial retry delay, increases
       linearly with each subsequent attempt
