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.
