- Split a file, each split having 10 lines (except the last split):
`split -l 10 {{path/to/file}}`
- Split a file into 5 files. File is split such that each split has same size (except the last split):
`split -n 5 {{path/to/file}}`
- Split a file with 512 bytes in each split (except the last split; use 512k for kilobytes and 512m for megabytes):
`split -b 512 {{path/to/file}}`
- Split a file with at most 512 bytes in each split without breaking lines:
`split -C 512 {{path/to/file}}`
