       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

       recognizes the following command-line options and arguments:

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

			     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.
