NAME
split - split a file into pieces
SYNOPSIS
split [ file1 [ file2 ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Split reads file1 and writes it in 1000-line pieces, as many
as are necessary, onto a set of output files. The name of
the first output file is file2 with an `a' appended, and so
on through the alphabet and beyond. If no output name is
given, `x' is default.
If no input file is given, or the first argument is `-',
then the standard input file is used.
BUGS
Watch out for 14-character file names. The number of lines
per file should be an argument.
