NAME
       split - split a file into pieces
SYNOPSIS
       split [OPTION]... [FILE [PREFIX]]
DESCRIPTION
       Output  pieces of FILE to PREFIXaa, PREFIXab, ...; default size is 1000
       lines, and default PREFIX is 'x'.
       With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
       Mandatory arguments to long options are  mandatory  for  short  options
       too.
       -a, --suffix-length=N
              generate suffixes of length N (default 2)
       --additional-suffix=SUFFIX
              append an additional SUFFIX to file names
       -b, --bytes=SIZE
              put SIZE bytes per output file
       -C, --line-bytes=SIZE
              put at most SIZE bytes of records per output file
       -d     use numeric suffixes starting at 0, not alphabetic
       --numeric-suffixes[=FROM]
              same as -d, but allow setting the start value
       -x     use hex suffixes starting at 0, not alphabetic
       --hex-suffixes[=FROM]
              same as -x, but allow setting the start value
       -e, --elide-empty-files
              do not generate empty output files with '-n'
       --filter=COMMAND
              write to shell COMMAND; file name is $FILE
       -l, --lines=NUMBER
              put NUMBER lines/records per output file
       -n, --number=CHUNKS
              generate CHUNKS output files; see explanation below
       -t, --separator=SEP
              use  SEP instead of newline as the record separator; '\0' (zero)
              specifies the NUL character
       -u, --unbuffered
              immediately copy input to output with '-n r/...'
       --verbose
              print a diagnostic just before each output file is opened
       --help display this help and exit
       --version
              output version information and exit
       The SIZE argument is an integer and  optional  unit  (example:  10K  is
       10*1024).   Units  are  K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y  (powers  of 1024) or KB,MB,...
       (powers of 1000).
   CHUNKS may be:
       N      split into N files based on size of input
       K/N    output Kth of N to stdout
       l/N    split into N files without splitting lines/records
       l/K/N  output Kth of N to stdout without splitting lines/records
       r/N    like 'l' but use round robin distribution
       r/K/N  likewise but only output Kth of N to stdout
