Asplit - split a file
1mSYNOPSIS0m
Asplit [-b buffer] [-n number] -s size filein
[fileout|directory]
1mOPTIONS0m
-b buffer
specify the size of the internal buffer. Default: 1024
bytes. It's advised to use 1024 multiple values.
This field is optional.
-n number
specify the base number used to numerate the file. Default:
0.
-s size
specify the maximum size (in bytes) of each sub-file.
filein
the name of the file to split.
fileout|directory Several
cases:
No filename given: The source filename is
used as root name of the files created. These files are in
the current directory.
A filename is given: It will be used as
root name. This name can be composed of a path.
A path is given: The files will be created
in this directory. The path MUST end by ":" (for Amiga) or
"/".
1mDESCRIPTION0m
The file "filein" is split into several files of "size"
bytes. Each filename is composed of the source file name
if no "fileout" name is given, and a number, which
indicates the order. The number of files is NOT LIMITED.
The order of files is respected thanks to an evaluation of
the digits necessary to code the order number, i.e., is you
have 100 files, they will be coded from 000 to 099, instead
of 0 to 99. If you don't know why it's important, you
should remember that the string "10" is alphabeticaly
before the string "2"...So imagine the result of the
concatenation of all the files.
