that are much larger than expected (given the default size). Change "smaller files" to "split files" which is more in line with what "-b" actually does. PR: 119329 Submitted by: Julian Stacey <jhs@berklix.org>

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility reads the given
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
and breaks it up into files of 1000 lines each
|
|
(if no options are specified), leaving the
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
unchanged.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is a single dash
|
|
.Pq Sq Fl
|
|
or absent,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads from the standard input.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl a Ar suffix_length
|
|
Use
|
|
.Ar suffix_length
|
|
letters to form the suffix of the file name.

Create split files

|
|
bytes in length.
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm k
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm K
|
|
is appended to the number, the file is split into
|
|
.Ar byte_count
|
|
kilobyte pieces.
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm m
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm M
|
|
is appended to the number, the file is split into
|
|
.Ar byte_count
|
|
megabyte pieces.
|
|
If
|
|
.Cm g
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm G
|
|
is appended to the number, the file is split into
|
|
.Ar byte_count
|
|
gigabyte pieces.
|
|
.It Fl l Ar line_count
|
|
Create split files
|
|
.Ar line_count
|
|
lines in length.
|
|
.It Fl n Ar chunk_count
|
|
Split file int
|
|
.Ar chunk_count
|
|
smaller files.
|
|
.It Fl p Ar pattern
|
|
The file is split whenever an input line matches
|
|
.Ar pattern ,
|
|
which is interpreted as an extended regular expression.
|
|
The matching line will be the first line of the next output file.
|
|
This option is incompatible with the
|
|
.Fl b
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
options.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If additional arguments are specified, the first is used as the name
|
|
of the input file which is to be split.
|
|
If a second additional argument is specified, it is used as a prefix
|
|
for the names of the files into which the file is split.
|
|
In this case, each file into which the file is split is named by the
|
|
prefix followed by a lexically ordered suffix using
|
|
.Ar suffix_length
|
|
characters in the range
|
|
.Dq Li a Ns - Ns Li z .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
is not specified, two letters are used as the suffix.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Ar prefix
|
|
argument is not specified, the file is split into lexically ordered
|
|
files named with the prefix
|
|
.Dq Li x
|
|
and with suffixes as above.
|
|
