User Commands split(1)
NAME
split - split a file into pieces
SYNOPSIS
split [-linecount | -l linecount] [-a suffixlength] [ file
[name]]
split [ -b n | nk | nm] [-a suffixlength] [ file [name]]
DESCRIPTION
The split utility reads file and writes it in linecount-line
pieces into a set of output-files. The name of the first
output-file is name with aa appended, and so on lexicograph-
ically, up to zz (a maximum of 676 files). The maximum
length of name is 2 characters less than the maximum
filename length allowed by the filesystem. See statvfs(2).
If no output name is given, x is used as the default
(output-files will be called xaa, xab, and so forth).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-linecount | -l linecounNtumber of lines in each piece.
Defaults to 1000 lines.
-a suffixlength Uses suffixlength letters to form
the suffix portion of the filenames
of the split file. If -a is not
specified, the default suffix length
is 2. If the sum of the name operand
and the suffixlength option-argument
would create a filename exceeding
NAME_MAX bytes, an error will
result; split will exit with a diag-
nostic message and no files will be
created.
-b n Splits a file into pieces n bytes in
size.
-b nk Splits a file into pieces n*1024
bytes in size.

-b nm Splits a file into pieces n*1048576
bytes in size.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
file The path name of the ordinary file to be split. If
no input file is given or file is -, the standard
input will be used.
name The prefix to be used for each of the files result-
ing from the split operation. If no name argument
is given, x will be used as the prefix of the out-
put files. The combined length of the basename of
prefix and suffixlength cannot exceed NAME_MAX
bytes. See OPTIONS.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of
split when encountering files greater than or equal to 2
Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

variables that affect the execution of split: LANG, LC_ALL,
LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.
