    SPLIT(I)                     1/15/73                     SPLIT(I)

    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.
