- NAME
- csplit - split a file into sections determined by context
- lines
-
- SYNOPSIS
- csplit [-sk] [-f prefix] [-n digits] [--prefix=prefix]
- [--digits=digits] [--quiet] [--silent] [--keep-files] file
- pattern...
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This manual page documents the GNU version of csplit.
- csplit creates zero or more output files containing sections
- of the given input _f_i_l_e, or the standard input if the name
- `-' is given. By default, csplit prints the number of bytes
- written to each output file after it has been created.
-
- The contents of the output files are determined by the _p_a_t_-
- _t_e_r_n arguments. An error occurs if a pattern argument
- refers to a nonexistent line of the input file, such as if
- no remaining line matches a given regular expression. The
- types of pattern arguments are:
-
- _l_i_n_e
- Create an output file containing the current line
- up to (but not including) line _l_i_n_e (a positive
- integer) of the input file. If followed by a
- repeat count, also create an output file contain-
- ing the next _l_i_n_e lines of the input file once for
- each repeat.
-
- /_r_e_g_e_x_p/[_o_f_f_s_e_t]
- Create an output file containing the current line
- up to (but not including) the next line of the
- input file that contains a match for _r_e_g_e_x_p. The
- optional _o_f_f_s_e_t is a `+' or `-' followed by a
- positive integer; if it is given, the line that
- starts the next section of the input file is the
- line that contains the match for _r_e_g_e_x_p plus the
- offset.
-
- %_r_e_g_e_x_p%[_o_f_f_s_e_t]
- Like the previous type, except that it does not
- create an output file, so that section of the
- input file is effectively ignored.
-
- {_r_e_p_e_a_t-_c_o_u_n_t}
- Repeat the previous pattern _r_e_p_e_a_t-_c_o_u_n_t (a posi-
- tive integer) additional times.
-
- The output file names consist of a prefix followed by a
- number, so that concatenating the output files in sorted
- order by file name produces the original input file, in

- order. The default output file name prefix is `xx'.
-
- By default, if csplit encounters an error or receives a
- hangup, interrupt, quit, or terminate signal, it removes any
- output files that it has created so far before it exits.
-
- OPTIONS
- -_f, --_p_r_e_f_i_x=_p_r_e_f_i_x
- Use _p_r_e_f_i_x as the output file name prefix.
-
- -_k, --_k_e_e_p-_f_i_l_e_s
- Do not remove output files.
-
- -_n, --_d_i_g_i_t_s=_d_i_g_i_t_s
- Use output file names containing numbers that are
- _d_i_g_i_t_s digits long instead of the default 2.
-
- -_s, --_s_i_l_e_n_t, --_q_u_i_e_t
- Do not print counts of output file sizes.
-
- The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well as
- `--', for compatibility with previous releases. Eventually
- support for `+' will be removed, because it is incompatible
- with the POSIX.2 standard.
