              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

       -a, --suffix-length=N [default: 0]
              use suffixes of fixed length N. 0 implies dynamic length.

       -x, --hex-suffixes
              use hex suffixes instead of alphabetic

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