| |
| <i>Split</i> reads <i>file</i> (standard input by default) and writes it in |
| pieces of 1000 lines per output file. The names of the output |
| files are <tt><font size=+1>xaa</font></tt>, <tt><font size=+1>xab</font></tt>, and so on to <tt><font size=+1>xzz</font></tt>. The options are<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>−n</font></tt> <i>n</i> Split into <i>n</i>-line pieces.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>−l</font></tt> <i>n</i> Synonym for <tt><font size=+1>−n</font></tt> <i>n</i>, a nod to Unix’s syntax.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>−e</font></tt> <i>expression<br> |
| </i> |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td> |
| |
| File divisions occur at each line that matches a regular <i>expression</i>; |
| see <a href="../man7/regexp.html"><i>regexp</i>(7)</a>. Multiple <tt><font size=+1>−e</font></tt> options may appear. If a subexpression |
| of <i>expression</i> is contained in parentheses <tt><font size=+1>(</font></tt>...<tt><font size=+1>)</font></tt>, the output file |
| name is the portion of the line which matches the subexpression.<br> |

| <tt><font size=+1>−f</font></tt> <i>stem<br> |
| </i> |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td> |
| |
| Use <i>stem</i> instead of <tt><font size=+1>x</font></tt> in output file names.<br> |
| |
| </table> |
| <tt><font size=+1>−s</font></tt> <i>suffix<br> |
| </i> |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td> |
| |
| Append <i>suffix</i> to names identified under <tt><font size=+1>−e</font></tt>.<br> |
| |
| </table> |
| <tt><font size=+1>−x</font></tt> Exclude the matched input line from the output file.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>−i</font></tt> Ignore case in option <tt><font size=+1>−e</font></tt>; force output file names (excluding |
| the suffix) to lower case.<br> |
