The only way split will flush output is to get an EOF on stdin.
To my knowledge there is no way to force sync on a child process, especially when it is a command line utility. You will have to roll your own version of split. Have it look for something in the input stream that forces it to fflush() the output stream.
fflush(stdin) is undefined behavior in standard C. (C89 && C99)

Is there an option or a way with the split command to rename the partitioned files with a counter. For example, can the files testaa, testab, testac be renamed to test1, test2, test3 from the split command without explicilty renaming files.
Thanks,

fflush
FFLUSH(3) Linux Programmer's Manual FFLUSH(3)
NAME
fflush - flush a stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
int fflush(FILE *stream);
DESCRIPTION
For output streams, fflush() forces a write of all user-space buffered data for the given output or update stream via the stream's underly-
ing write function.
For input streams associated with seekable files (e.g., disk files, but not pipes or terminals), fflush() discards any buffered data that
has been fetched from the underlying file, but has not been consumed by the application.
The open status of the stream is unaffected.
If the stream argument is NULL, fflush() flushes all open output streams.
For a nonlocking counterpart, see unlocked_stdio(3).
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, EOF is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EBADF stream is not an open stream, or is not open for writing.
The function fflush() may also fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for write(2).
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
+----------+---------------+---------+
|Interface | Attribute | Value |

|fflush() | Thread safety | MT-Safe |
+----------+---------------+---------+
CONFORMING TO
C89, C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
POSIX.1-2001 did not specify the behavior for flushing of input streams, but the behavior is specified in POSIX.1-2008.
NOTES
Note that fflush() flushes only the user-space buffers provided by the C library. To ensure that the data is physically stored on disk the
kernel buffers must be flushed too, for example, with sync(2) or fsync(2).
