Usage

Overview

Create output files containing consecutive or interleaved sections of input

Options

-b, --bytes <SIZE>

put SIZE bytes per output file

-C, --line-bytes <SIZE>

put at most SIZE bytes of lines per output file

-l, --lines <NUMBER> [default: 1000]

put NUMBER lines/records per output file

-n, --number <CHUNKS>

generate CHUNKS output files; see explanation below

--additional-suffix <SUFFIX> [default: ]

additional SUFFIX to append to output file names

--filter <COMMAND>

write to shell COMMAND; file name is $FILE (Currently not implemented for Windows)

-e, --elide-empty-files

do not generate empty output files with '-n'

-d

use numeric suffixes starting at 0, not alphabetic

--numeric-suffixes[=<FROM>]

same as -d, but allow setting the start value

-x

use hex suffixes starting at 0, not alphabetic

--hex-suffixes[=<FROM>]

same as -x, but allow setting the start value

-a, --suffix-length <N>

generate suffixes of length N (default 2)

--verbose

print a diagnostic just before each output file is opened

-t, --separator <SEP>

use SEP instead of newline as the record separator; '\0' (zero) specifies the NUL character

-h, --help

Print help

-V, --version

Print version

[input] [default: -]

[prefix] [default: x]

Extra

Output fixed-size pieces of INPUT to PREFIXaa, PREFIXab, ...; default size is 1000, and default PREFIX is 'x'. With no INPUT, or when INPUT is -, read standard input.

The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y,R,Q (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (powers of 1000). Binary prefixes can be used, too: KiB=K, MiB=M, and so on.

CHUNKS may be:

- N split into N files based on size of input
- K/N output Kth of N to stdout
- l/N split into N files without splitting lines/records
- l/K/N output Kth of N to stdout without splitting lines/records
- r/N like 'l' but use round robin distribution
- r/K/N likewise but only output Kth of N to stdout
