NAME
split - split a file into pieces
SYNOPSIS
split [ -n ] [ -c] [ file [ name ] ]
DESCRIPTION
split reads file and writes it in n-line pieces (default 1000
lines) onto a set of output files. The name of the first output
file is name with aa appended, and so on lexicographically, up to
zz (a maximum of 676 files). If no output name is given, x is
default.
If -c option is specified, split counts in characters rather than
in lines (so making pieces of n-characters).
If no input file is given, or if - is given instead, then the
standard input file is used.
RETURN CODES
0 if all went well
1 in case of bad argument (fatal)
2 if one file couldn't be opened, or too much output files (fatal)
3 if memory couldn't be allocated (fatal)
CHANGES FROM UNIX
name can be longer than 12 characters.
