Assume the bigfile has 1000 lines, you want 10 with 100 lines each
This gives you 10 files named smallfilea, smallfileb.... smalafilej with 100 lines each.
Split by bytes: suppose you have bigfile with 10240 bytes, split into small files of 1024 bytes:
Same smallfile names. bigfile is unchanged in either operation.
