                     11: .SH SYNOPSIS
                     12: \fBsplit\fP [ -\fBn\fP ] [ -\fBb\fP byte_cnt ] [ file [ name ] ]
                     13: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     14: \fISplit\fP reads \fIfile\fP and writes it in
                     15: .IR n -line
                     16: pieces or in \fIbyte_cnt\fP byte pieces to a set of output
                     17: files.  The default is in 1000 line pieces.  The name of the
                     18: first output file is \fIname\fP with "aa" appended, and so
                     19: on, lexicographically, to "zz".  If no output name is given,
                     20: "x" is the default, in which case \fIsplit\fP will create
                     21: files from "xaa" to "zzz".
                     22: .PP
                     23: If no input file is given, or if \fB-\fP is given in its stead, then
                     24: the standard input file is used.
                     25: .SH BUGS
                     26: If you provide \fIname\fP, \fIsplit\fP can only create 676 separate
                     27: files.  The default naming convention allows 2028 separate files.
