SPLITB(1)		     BSD Reference Manual		     SPLITB(1)

NAME
     splitb - split a file bytewise into pieces

SYNOPSIS
     splitb [-dhkq] [-B bufsiz] [-b blocksize] [-t template] [-w width] [file]

DESCRIPTION
     The splitb utility reads the given file (or from standard input, if no
     file is specified) and breaks it into smaller files at defined byte boun-
     daries.

     The operation of splitb is controlled by the following options:

     -B bufsiz
	     Set the size of the buffer to bufsiz. Default is 1048576 (1 MiB).

     -b blocksize
	     Set the size of the file to blocksize buffers of bufsiz each. De-
	     fault is 1.

     -d	     Toggle the use of decimal respective sedecimal sequence numbers.
	     Default is sedecimal.

     -h	     Display a verbose synopsis.

     -k	     Set bufsiz to 1024 (1 KiB).

     -q	     Be quiet during operation.

     -t template
	     Specify pathname which is prepended to generated files. Default
	     is "split". template is followed by a dot and three (width) sede-
	     cimal numbers (000-FFF) as sequence number; if more than 4096
	     (16^3) files are to be generated, it simply runs off unless the
	     -w option is used.

     -w width
	     Specify the number of sedecimal digits to append, in the range
	     from 1 to PATH_MAX - 2 - strlen(template). Default is 3.

     An additional argument specified is used as the name of the input file
     which is to be split.
