split

Split a file into pieces

• Split a file with 10 lines in each split (except last split)

split -l 10 {{filename}}

• Split a file into 5 files. All the splits have same size (not necessarily same number of lines)

split -n 5 {{filename}}

• Split a file with 512 bytes of lines in each split (most useful)

split -C 512 {{filename}}
