- This manual page documents the GNU version of sspplliitt.
- sspplliitt creates one or more output files (as many as neces-
- sary) containing 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, sspplliitt puts 1000 lines of the input
- file, or whatever 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.

- _-_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 fol-
- lowed by one of the following characters to specify
- a different 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 out-
- put 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.
-
- _-_-_h_e_l_p Print a usage message and exit with a non-zero sta-
- tus.
