+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility reads the given
+.Ar file ,
+or standard input if no file is specified,
+and breaks it up into files of 1000 lines each.
+.Ar file
+itself is not altered.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl a Ar suffix_length
+Use
+.Ar suffix_length
+letters to form the suffix of the file name
+(see below).
+The default suffix length is 2.
+.It Xo
+.Fl b
+.Sm off
+.Ar byte_count
+.Op Cm k | m
+.Sm on
+.Xc
+Create files
+.Ar byte_count
+bytes in length.
+If
+.Sq k
+is appended to the number, the file is split into
+.Ar byte_count
+kilobyte pieces.
+If
+.Sq m
+is appended to the number, the file is split into
+.Ar byte_count
+megabyte pieces.
+.It Fl l Ar line_count
+Create files
+.Ar line_count
+lines in length.
+.It Fl p Ar pattern
+The file is split whenever an input line matches
+.Ar pattern ,
+which is interpreted as an extended regular expression.
+The matching line will be the first line of the next output file.
+This option is incompatible with the
+.Fl b
+and
+.Fl l
+options.
+.El
+.Pp
+If
+.Ar name
+is specified,
+it is used as a prefix
+for the names of the files into which the file is split.
+In this case, each file into which the file is split is named by the
+prefix followed by a lexically ordered suffix using
+.Ar suffix_length
+characters in the range
+.Dq a-z .
+.Pp
+If the
+.Ar name
+argument is not specified, the file is split into lexically ordered
+files named with the prefixes
+.Sq x ,
+.Sq y ,
+and
+.Sq z .
+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+.Ex -std split
+.Sh SEE ALSO

+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Nm
+utility is compliant with the
+.St -p1003.1-2008
+specification.
+.Pp
+The flag
+.Op Fl p ,
+as well as the
+.Sq y
+and
+.Sq z
+prefixes in the absence of a
+.Ar name
+parameter,
+are an extension to that specification.
+.Sh HISTORY
+A
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.At v3 .
+.Sh BUGS
+The maximum line length for matching patterns is 65536.
