NAME
split - split a file into pieces
SYNOPSIS
split [
option ... ]
[
file ]
DESCRIPTION
Split reads
file (standard input by default)
and writes it in pieces of 1000
lines per output file.
The names of the
output files are
xaa , xab , and so on to
xzz . The options are
-n " n" Split into n -line pieces.
-l " n" Synonym for -n n , a nod to Unix's syntax.
-e " expression" File divisions occur at each line that matches a regular expression ; see regexp (6). Multiple -e options may appear. If a subexpression of expression is contained in parentheses ( ... ) , the output file name is the portion of the line which matches the subexpression.
-f " stem Use stem instead of x in output file names.
-s " suffix Append suffix to names identified under -e .
-x Exclude the matched input line from the output file.
-i Ignore case in option -e ; force output file names (excluding the suffix) to lower case.
