DESCRIPTION

       Create output files containing consecutive or interleaved sections of input

OPTIONS

       -b, --bytes=SIZE
              put SIZE bytes per output file

       -C, --line-bytes=SIZE
              put at most SIZE bytes of lines per output file

       -l, --lines=NUMBER [default: 1000]
              put NUMBER lines/records per output file

       -n, --number=CHUNKS
              generate CHUNKS output files; see explanation below

       --additional-suffix=SUFFIX [default: ]
              additional SUFFIX to append to output file names

       --filter=COMMAND
              write to shell COMMAND; file name is $FILE (Currently not implemented for Windows)

       -e, --elide-empty-files
              do not generate empty output files with '-n'

       -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

       -a, --suffix-length=N
              generate suffixes of length N (default 2)

       --verbose
              print a diagnostic just before each output file is opened

       -t, --separator=SEP
              use SEP instead of newline as the record separator; '\0' (zero) specifies  the  NUL
              character

       -h, --help
              Print help

       -V, --version
              Print version

       [input] [default: -]

       [prefix] [default: x]

EXTRA

       Output  fixed-size  pieces  of INPUT to PREFIXaa, PREFIXab, ...; default size is 1000, and
       default PREFIX is 'x'. With no INPUT, or when INPUT is -, read standard input.

       The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is  10*1024).   Units  are
       K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y,R,Q  (powers  of 1024) or KB,MB,... (powers of 1000).  Binary prefixes can
       be used, too: KiB=K, MiB=M, and so on.

       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
