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.
