split [–a n] [–l n] [file [prefix]]
split –b n[bkm] [–a n] [file [prefix]]
split [–n] [–a n] file [prefix]
split breaks a file up into a set of files. It starts a new file every time it has copied
1000 lines.
split names the files that it creates as a prefix followed by a suffix. x is the prefix
unless you specify a different prefix on the command line. Unless altered by the
following options, the suffix begins as aa and is incremented with each new file. By
default, therefore, the first file is xaa followed by xab, and so on.
–a n Uses a suffix n letters long. The default is two.
–b n[bkm]
Splits the file every n units. The default unit size is bytes. When you follow
n with b, k, or m, split uses a corresponding unit size of 512 bytes, 1K
(1024 bytes), or 1 megabyte (1 048 576 bytes).
–l n Splits the file every n lines.
–n Is an obsolescent version of the –l option.
If the file is – (dash) or if no file is specified, split reads the standard input (stdin).
split uses the following localization environment variables:
v LANG
v LC_ALL
v LC_CTYPE
v LC_MESSAGES
v NLSPATH
