SPLIT(1)                    General Commands Manual                   SPLIT(1)



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 expres‐
              sion; see regexp(6).  Multiple -e options may appear.  If a sub‐
              expression  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.
