- Split a file, each split having 10 lines (except the last split):
|
|
|
|
`split {{[-l|--lines]}} 10 {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Split a file into 5 files. File is split such that each split has same size (except the last split):
|
|
|
|
`split {{[-n|--number]}} 5 {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Split a file with 512 bytes in each split (except the last split; use 512k for kilobytes and 512m for megabytes):
|
|
|
|
`split {{[-b|--bytes]}} 512 {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Split a file with at most 512 bytes in each split without breaking lines:
|
|
|
|
`split {{[-C|--line-bytes]}} 512 {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Split into multiple files from `stdin`:
|
|
|
|
`gzip {{[-cd|--stdout --decompress]}} {{path/to/compressed_file.gz}} | split {{[-l|--lines]}} {{1000}} - {{path/to/output}}`
