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 lines) onto
      a set of output files.  The name of the first output file is name with aa
      appended, and so on lexicographically, up to zz (a maximum of 676 files).
      The maximum length of name is 2 characters less than the maximum filename
      length allowed by the filesystem.  See statvfs(2).  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.
