NAME

     split - split a file into pieces



SYNOPSIS

     split -n [ file [ name ] ]



DESCRIPTION

     Split reads file and writes it  in  n-line  pieces  (default

     1000),  as  many  as  necessary, onto a set of output files.

     The name of the first output file is name with aa  appended,

     and  so on lexicographically.  If no output name is given, x

     is default.



     If no input file is given, or if - is given  in  its  stead,

     then the standard input file is used.
