NAME
       split - split a file into pieces

SYNOPSIS
       line_count] suffix_length] [file [name]]

       nsuffix_length] [file [name]]

   Obsolescent
       n] [file [name]]

DESCRIPTION
       reads  file  and writes it in pieces (default 1000 lines) onto a set of
       output files.  The name of the first output file is name with appended,
       and so on lexicographically, up to (only ASCII letters are used, a max‐
       imum of 676 files).  If no output name is given, is the default.

       If no input file is given, or if is given instead, the  standard	 input
       file is used.

   Options
       recognizes the following command-line options and arguments:

	      The input file is split into pieces
			     line_count lines in size.

	      suffix_length  letters are used to form the suffix of the output
			     filenames.	 This option allows creation  of  more
			     than  676	output	files.	 The output file names
			     created  cannot  exceed  the  maximum  file  name
			     length  allowed  in  the directory containing the
			     files.

	      The input file is split into pieces
			     n bytes in size.

	      The input file is split into pieces
			     n × 1024 bytes in size.  No space separates the n
			     from the

	      The input file is split into pieces
			     n	×  1048576  bytes in size.  No space separates
			     the n from the

	      The input file is split into pieces
			     n lines in size.  This option is obsolescent  and
			     is equivalent to using the option.

       If or is not specified in the  environment  or  is  set	to  the	 empty
       string, the value of is used as a default for each unspecified or empty
       variable.  If is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default
       of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of

       If  any	internationalization  variable	contains  an  invalid setting,
       behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to  "C".   See
       environ(5).
