SPLIT(1L) MISC. REFERENCE MANUAL PAGES SPLIT(1L)
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.
OPTIONS
-_l_i_n_e_s, -_l _l_i_n_e_s, --_l_i_n_e_s=_l_i_n_e_s
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.
The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well as
`--', for compatibility with previous releases. Eventually
support for `+' will be removed, because it is incompatible
