NAME

       split - split a file into pieces

SYNOPSIS

       line_count] suffix_length] [file [name]]

       nsuffix_length] [file [name]]

   Obsolescent
       n] [file [name]]

DESCRIPTION

       reads  file  and  writes  it  in  pieces  (default  1000 lines) onto a set of output files.  The name of the first output file is name with
       appended, and so on lexicographically, up to (only ASCII letters are used, a maximum of 676 files).  If no output name  is  given,  is  the
       default.

       If no input file is given, or if is given instead, the standard input file is used.

   Options
       recognizes the following command-line options and arguments:

	      The input file is split into pieces
			     line_count lines in size.

	      suffix_length  letters  are  used  to  form the suffix of the output filenames.  This option allows creation of more than 676 output
			     files.  The output file names created cannot exceed the maximum file name length allowed in the directory	containing
			     the files.

	      The input file is split into pieces
			     n bytes in size.

	      The input file is split into pieces
			     n x 1024 bytes in size.  No space separates the n from the

	      The input file is split into pieces
			     n x 1048576 bytes in size.  No space separates the n from the

	      The input file is split into pieces
			     n lines in size.  This option is obsolescent and is equivalent to using the option.
