NAME
split, fsplit - split a file into pieces
SYNOPSIS
split [ option ... ] [ file ]
fsplit [ option ... ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Split reads file (standard input by default) and writes it
in pieces of 1000 lines per output file. The names of the
output files are xaa, xab, and so on to xzz. The options
are
-n Split into n-line pieces.
-e expression
File divisions occur at each line that matches a grep-
style regular expression; see gre(1). Multiple -e
options may appear. If a subexpression of expression
is contained in escaped parentheses \(...\), the output
file name is the portion of the line which matches the
subexpression.
-f stem
Use stem instead of x in output file names.
-s suffix
Append suffix to names identified under -e.
-x Exclude the matched input line from the output file.
-i Ignore case in option -e; force output file names
(excluding the suffix) to lower case.
Fsplit splits a collection of Fortran subprograms in one
file into separate files. The options are
-f
-e
-r Set the file suffix: procedure `proc' will go into file
`proc.f' (default), `proc.e', or `proc.r' accordingly.
Block data subprograms will go into files named
`BLOCKDATA1.f', etc.
-i Force output file names to lower case.
-s Strip off data beyond column 72 together with any
resulting trailing blanks.
