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(7).
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.
