split — split a file into pieces
split [OPTION...] [ INPUT [PREFIX] ]
Output fixed−size pieces of INPUT to PREFIXaa, PREFIXab, ...; default size is 1000 lines, and default PREFIX is `x'. With no INPUT, or when INPUT is −, read standard input.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
−a, −−suffix−length=Nuse suffixes of length N (default 2)
−b, −−bytes=SIZEput SIZE bytes per output file
−C, −−line−bytes=SIZEput at most SIZE bytes of lines per output file
−d, −−numeric−suffixesuse numeric suffixes instead of alphabetic
−e, −−elide−empty−filesdo not generate empty output files with `−n'
−l, −−lines=NUMBERput NUMBER lines per output file
−n, −−number=CHUNKSgenerate CHUNKS output files. See below
−u, −−unbufferedimmediately copy input to output with `−n r/...'
−−verboseprint a diagnostic just before each output file is opened
−−helpdisplay this help and exit
−−versionoutput version information and exit
SIZE may be (or may be an integer optionally followed by) one of following: KB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024, and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.
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 l/K/N output Kth of N to stdout without splitting lines r/N like `l' but use round robin distribution r/K/N likewise but only output Kth of N to stdout
