SPLIT(1)                                                 SPLIT(1)



     NAME
          split - split a file into pieces

     SYNOPSIS
          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, and so on
          lexicographically, up to zz (a maximum of 676 files).  Name
          cannot be longer than 12 characters.  If no output name is
          given, x is default.

          If no input file is given, or if - is given in its stead,
          then the standard input file is used.
