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  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.
