The default size of each output + file shall be 1000 lines. The size of the output files + can be modified by specification of the -b or -l + options. Each output file shall be created with a unique + suffix. The suffix shall consist of exactly suf- + fix_length lowercase letters from the POSIX locale. The + letters of the suffix shall be used as if they were a + base-26 digit system, with the first suffix to be cre- + ated consisting of all 'a' characters, the second with a + 'b' replacing the last 'a' , and so on, until a name of + all 'z' characters is created. By default, the names of + the output files shall be 'x' , followed by a two-char- + acter suffix from the character set as described above, + starting with "aa" , "ab" , "ac" , and so on, and con- + tinuing until the suffix "zz" , for a maximum of 676 + files. + + If the number of files required exceeds the maximum + allowed by the suffix length provided, such that the + last allowable file would be larger than the requested + size, the split utility shall fail after creating the + last file with a valid suffix; split shall not delete + the files it created with valid suffixes. If the file + limit is not exceeded, the last file created shall con- + tain the remainder of the input file, and may be smaller + than the requested size. + +OPTIONS + The split utility shall conform to the Base Definitions + volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility + Syntax Guidelines. + + The following options shall be supported: + + -a suffix_length + + Use suffix_length letters to form the suffix por- + tion of the filenames of the split file. If -a is + not specified, the default suffix length shall be + two. If the sum of the name operand and the suf- + fix_length option-argument would create a file- + name exceeding {NAME_MAX} bytes, an error shall + result; split shall exit with a diagnostic mes- + sage and no files shall be created. + + -b n Split a file into pieces n bytes in size. + + -b nk Split a file into pieces n*1024 bytes in size. + + -b nm Split a file into pieces n*1048576 bytes in size. + + -l line_count + Specify the number of lines in each resulting + file piece. The line_count argument is an + unsigned decimal integer. The default is 1000. If + the input does not end with a , the par- + tial line shall be included in the last output + file. + + +OPERANDS + The following operands shall be supported: + + file The pathname of the ordinary file to be split. If + no input file is given or file is '-' , the stan- + dard input shall be used. + + name The prefix to be used for each of the files + resulting from the split operation. If no name + argument is given, 'x' shall be used as the pre- + fix of the output files. The combined length of + the basename of prefix and suffix_length cannot + exceed {NAME_MAX} bytes. See the OPTIONS section. + + +STDIN + See the INPUT FILES section. + +INPUT FILES + Any file can be used as input. + +ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES + The following environment variables shall affect the + execution of split: + + LANG Provide a default value for the internationaliza- + tion variables that are unset or null. (See the + Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, + Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables for + the precedence of internationalization variables + used to determine the values of locale cate- + gories.) + + LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the + values of all the other internationalization + variables. + + LC_CTYPE + Determine the locale for the interpretation of + sequences of bytes of text data as characters + (for example, single-byte as opposed to multi- + byte characters in arguments and input files). + + LC_MESSAGES + Determine the locale that should be used to + affect the format and contents of diagnostic mes- + sages written to standard error. + + NLSPATH + Determine the location of message catalogs for + the processing of LC_MESSAGES . + + +ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS + Default. + +STDOUT + Not used. + +STDERR + The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic + messages. + +OUTPUT FILES + The output files contain portions of the original input + file; otherwise, unchanged. + +EXTENDED DESCRIPTION + None. + +EXIT STATUS + The following exit values shall be returned: + + 0 Successful completion. + + >0 An error occurred. + + +CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS + Default. + + The following sections are informative. + +APPLICATION USAGE + None. + +EXAMPLES + In the following examples foo is a text file that con- + tains 5000 lines. + + Create five files, xaa, xab, xac, xad, and xae: + + + split foo + + Create five files, but the suffixed portion of the cre- + ated files consists of three letters, xaaa, xaab, xaac, + xaad, and xaae: + + + split -a 3 foo + + Create three files with four-letter suffixes and a sup- + plied prefix, bar_aaaa, bar_aaab, and bar_aaac: + + + split -a 4 -l 2000 foo bar_ + + Create as many files as are necessary to contain at most + 20*1024 bytes, each with the default prefix of x and a + five-letter suffix: + + + split -a 5 -b 20k foo + +RATIONALE + The -b option was added to provide a mechanism for + splitting files other than by lines. While most uses of + the -b option are for transmitting files over networks, + some believed it would have additional uses. + + The -a option was added to overcome the limitation of + being able to create only 676 files. + + Consideration was given to deleting this utility, using + the rationale that the functionality provided by this + utility is available via the csplit utility (see csplit + ). Upon reconsideration of the purpose of the User + Portability Extension, it was decided to retain both + this utility and the csplit utility because users use + both utilities and have historical expectations of their + behavior. Furthermore, the splitting on byte boundaries + in split cannot be duplicated with the historical + csplit. + + The text " split shall not delete the files it created + with valid suffixes" would normally be assumed, but + since the related utility, csplit, does delete files + under some circumstances, the historical behavior of + split is made explicit to avoid misinterpretation. + +FUTURE DIRECTIONS + None. + +SEE ALSO + csplit + +COPYRIGHT + Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in + electronic form from IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003 Edition, + Standard for Information Technology -- Portable Operat- + ing System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base Speci- + fications Issue 6, Copyright (C) 2001-2003 by the Insti- + tute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and + The Open Group.
