split - split a file into pieces
split [OPTION]... [FILE [PREFIX]]
Output pieces of FILE to PREFIXaa, PREFIXab, ...; default size is 1000 lines, and default PREFIX is 'x'. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -a, --suffix-length=N generate suffixes of length N (default 2) --additional-suffix=SUFFIX append an additional SUFFIX to file names -b, --bytes=SIZE put SIZE bytes per output file -C, --line-bytes=SIZE put at most SIZE bytes of records per output file -d use numeric suffixes starting at 0, not alphabetic --numeric-suffixes[=FROM] same as -d, but allow setting the start value -e, --elide-empty-files do not generate empty output files with '-n' --filter=COMMAND write to shell COMMAND; file name is $FILE -l, --lines=NUMBER put NUMBER lines/records per output file -n, --number=CHUNKS generate CHUNKS output files; see explanation below -t, --separator=SEP use SEP instead of newline as the record separator; '\0' (zero) specifies the NUL character -u, --unbuffered immediately copy input to output with '-n r/...' --verbose print a diagnostic just before each output file is opened --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (powers of 1000). CHUNKS may be: N split into N files based on size of input K/N output Kth of N to stdout l/N split into N files without splitting lines/records l/K/N output Kth of N to stdout without splitting lines/records r/N like 'l' but use round robin distribution r/K/N likewise but only output Kth of N to stdout
