SYNTAX
split [ -n ] [ file [ name ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Split reads file and writes it in n-line pieces (default 1000
lines) onto a set of output files. The name of the first output
file is name with aa appended; the name of the last is zz (a
maximum of 676 files). Name cannot be longer than 252
characters. If no output name is given, x is the default.
If no input file is given, or if - is given instead, then the
standard input file is used.

EXAMPLES
$ split -4 longfile longfile
The split command takes the file "longfile" and splits it into
files 4 lines long. The new files will be named longfileaa,
longfileab, and so on to longfilezz, if needed. If no output
name were specified, the names would default to xaa, xab, and so
on.
