_S_p_l_i_t reads _f_i_l_e and writes it in _n-line pieces or in
_b_y_t_e__c_n_t byte pieces to a set of output files. The default
is in 1000 line pieces. The name of the first output file
is _n_a_m_e with "aa" appended, and so on, lexicographically, to
"zz". If no output name is given, "x" is the default, in
which case _s_p_l_i_t will create files from "xaa" to "zzz".
If no input file is given, or if -- is given in its stead,
then the standard input file is used.

If you provide _n_a_m_e, _s_p_l_i_t can only create 676 separate
files. The default naming convention allows 2028 separate
files.
