.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility reads the given
.Ar file
and breaks it up into files of 1000 lines each
(if no options are specified), leaving the
.Ar file
unchanged.
If
.Ar file
is a single dash
.Pq Sq Fl
or absent,
.Nm
reads from the standard input.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl a Ar suffix_length
Use
.Ar suffix_length
letters to form the suffix of the file name.
.It Fl b Ar byte_count Ns Oo
.Sm off
.Cm K | k | M | m | G | g
.Sm on
.Oc
Create split files
.Ar byte_count
bytes in length.
If
.Cm k
or
.Cm K
is appended to the number, the file is split into
.Ar byte_count
kilobyte pieces.
If
.Cm m
or
.Cm M
is appended to the number, the file is split into
.Ar byte_count
megabyte pieces.
If
.Cm g
or
.Cm G
is appended to the number, the file is split into
.Ar byte_count
gigabyte pieces.
.It Fl l Ar line_count
Create split files
.Ar line_count
lines in length.
.It Fl n Ar chunk_count
Split file into
.Ar chunk_count
smaller files.
.It Fl p Ar pattern
The file is split whenever an input line matches
.Ar pattern ,
which is interpreted as an extended regular expression.
The matching line will be the first line of the next output file.
This option is incompatible with the
.Fl b
and
.Fl l
options.
.El
.Pp
If additional arguments are specified, the first is used as the name
of the input file which is to be split.
If a second additional argument is specified, it is used as a prefix
for the names of the files into which the file is split.
In this case, each file into which the file is split is named by the
prefix followed by a lexically ordered suffix using
.Ar suffix_length
characters in the range
.Dq Li a Ns - Ns Li z .
If
.Fl a
is not specified, two letters are used as the suffix.
.Pp
If the
.Ar prefix
argument is not specified, the file is split into lexically ordered
files named with the prefix
.Dq Li x
and with suffixes as above.
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
The
.Ev LANG , LC_ALL , LC_CTYPE
and
.Ev LC_COLLATE
environment variables affect the execution of
.Nm
as described in
.Xr environ 7 .
.Sh EXIT STATUS
.Ex -std
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr csplit 1 ,
.Xr re_format 7
.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Nm
utility conforms to
.St -p1003.1-2001 .
.Sh HISTORY
A
.Nm
command appeared in
.At v3 .
.Sh BUGS
The maximum line length for matching patterns is 65536.
