- NAME
- split - split a file into pieces
-
- SYNOPSIS
- split [-lines] [-l lines] [-b bytes[bkm]] [-C bytes[bkm]]
- [+lines=lines] [+bytes=bytes[bkm]] [+line-bytes=bytes[bkm]]
- [infile [outfile-prefix]]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This manual page documents the GNU version of split. split
- creates one or more output files (as many as necessary) con-
- taining consecutive sections of the _✓i_✓n_✓f_✓i_✓l_✓e, or the standard
- input if none is given or the name `-' is given. By
- default, split puts 1000 lines of the input file, or what-
- ever is left if it is less than that, into each output file.
-
- The output file names consist of a prefix followed by a
- group of letters, chosen so that concatenating the output
- files in sorted order by file name produces the original
- input file, in order. The default output file name prefix
- is `x'. If the _✓o_✓u_✓t_✓f_✓i_✓l_✓e-_✓p_✓r_✓e_✓f_✓i_✓x argument is given, it is used
- as the output file name prefix instead.

- Put _✓l_✓i_✓n_✓e_✓s lines of the input file into each output
- file.
-
- -_✓b _✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s[_✓b_✓k_✓m], +_✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s=_✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s[_✓b_✓k_✓m]
- Put _✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s bytes of the input file into each output
- file. _✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s is a nonzero integer, optionally followed
- by one of the following characters to specify a dif-
- ferent unit.
-
- b 512-byte blocks.
-
- k 1-kilobyte blocks.
-
- m 1-megabyte blocks.

- -_✓C _✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s[_✓b_✓k_✓m], +_✓l_✓i_✓n_✓e-_✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s=_✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s[_✓b_✓k_✓m]
- Put into each output file as many complete lines of the
- input file as is possible without exceeding _✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s
- bytes. If a line that is longer than _✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s bytes
- occurs, put _✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s bytes of it into each output file
- until less than _✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s bytes of the line are left, then
- continue normally. _✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s has the same format as for
- the +_✓b_✓y_✓t_✓e_✓s option.
