- This manual page documents the GNU version of ccsspplliitt.
- ccsspplliitt creates zero or more output files containing sec-
- tions of the given input _f_i_l_e, or the standard input if
- the name `-' is given. By default, ccsspplliitt prints the num-
- ber of bytes written to each output file after it has been
- created.
-
- The contents of the output files are determined by the
- _p_a_t_t_e_r_n arguments. An error occurs if a pattern argument
- refers to a nonexistent line of the input file, such as if
- no remaining line matches a given regular expression.
- After all the given patterns have been matched, any
- remaining output is copied into one last output file. The
- types of pattern arguments are:
-
- _l_i_n_e
- Create an output file containing the current
- line up to (but not including) line _l_i_n_e (a
- positive integer) of the input file. If
- followed by a repeat count, also create an
- output file containing the next _l_i_n_e lines
- of the input file once for each repeat.
-
- /_r_e_g_e_x_p/[_o_f_f_s_e_t]
- Create an output file containing the current
- line up to (but not including) the next line
- of the input file that contains a match for
- _r_e_g_e_x_p. The optional _o_f_f_s_e_t is a `+' or `-'
- followed by a positive integer. If it is
- given, the input up to the matching line
- plus or minus _o_f_f_s_e_t is put into the output
- file, and the line after that begins the
- next section of input.
-
- %_r_e_g_e_x_p%[_o_f_f_s_e_t]
- Like the previous type, except that it does
- not create an output file, so that section
- of the input file is effectively ignored.
-
- {_r_e_p_e_a_t_-_c_o_u_n_t}
- Repeat the previous pattern _r_e_p_e_a_t_-_c_o_u_n_t (a
- positive integer) additional times.
-
- The output file names consist of a prefix followed by a

- number, 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 `xx'.
-
- By default, if ccsspplliitt encounters an error or receives a
- hangup, interrupt, quit, or terminate signal, it removes
- any output files that it has created so far before it
- exits.
-

- _-_f_, _-_-_p_r_e_f_i_x_=_p_r_e_f_i_x
- Use _p_r_e_f_i_x as the output file name prefix.
-
- _-_k_, _-_-_k_e_e_p_-_f_i_l_e_s
- Do not remove output files.
-
- _-_n_, _-_-_d_i_g_i_t_s_=_d_i_g_i_t_s
- Use output file names containing numbers that are
- _d_i_g_i_t_s digits long instead of the default 2.
-
- _-_s_, _-_-_s_i_l_e_n_t_, _-_-_q_u_i_e_t
- Do not print counts of output file sizes.
-
- _-_-_h_e_l_p Print a usage message and exit with a non-zero sta-
- tus.
-
- _-_-_v_e_r_s_i_o_n
- Print version information on standard error then
- exit.
