m.bsplit - Splits a large (greater than 1,048,000 megabyte) file
into smaller portions.
(SCS GRASS File Management Program)
SYNOPSIS
m.bsplit
m.bsplit help
m.bsplit input=name [size=value] [prefix=name]
DESCRIPTION
m.bsplit works much like the UNIX command csplit; however,
it was developed to be used on binary, not ASCII, files.
The first parameter, size, has a default value of 500000.
The user may assign larger or smaller values, as long as 1000000
is not exceeded.
The second parameter, prefix, is comparable to the UNIX
csplit command use of "x" as a prefix to output files.
m.bsplit uses the default of "bx" as a prefix on output.
