A few programs used the plural in their synopsis which doesn't read as clear as the obvious triple-dot notation. mdoc(7) .Ar defaults to "file ..." if no arguments are given and consistent use of 'arg ...' matches that behaviour. Cleanup a few markups of the same argument so the text keeps reading naturally; omit unhelpful parts like 'if optional arguments are given, they are passed along' for tools like time(1) and timeout(1) that obviously execute commands with whatever arguments where given -- just like doas(1) which doesn't mention arguments in its DESCRIPTION in the first place. For expr(1) the difference between 'expressions' and 'expression ...' is crucial, as arguments must be passed as individual words. Feedback millert jmc schwarze deraadt OK jmc

.Sh NAME

.Nm csplit
|
|
.Nd split files based on context
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl ks
|
|
.Op Fl f Ar prefix
|
|
.Op Fl n Ar number
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
.Ar arg ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility splits
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
into pieces using the pattern
|
|
.Ar arg .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is
|
|
a dash
|
|
.Pq Sq - ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads from standard input.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Files are created with a prefix of
|
|
.Dq xx
|
|
and two decimal digits.
|
|
The size of each file is written to standard output
|
|
as it is created.
|
|
If an error occurs whilst files are being created,
|
|
or a
|
|
.Dv HUP ,
|
|
.Dv INT ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv TERM
|
|
signal is received,
|
|
all files previously written are removed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl f Ar prefix
|
|
Create file names beginning with
|
|
.Ar prefix ,
|
|
instead of
|
|
.Dq xx .
|
|
.It Fl k
|
|
Do not remove previously created files if an error occurs or a
|
|
.Dv HUP ,
|
|
.Dv INT ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv TERM
|
|
signal is received.
|
|
.It Fl n Ar number
|
|
Create file names beginning with
|
|
.Ar number
|
|
of decimal digits after the prefix,
|
|
instead of 2.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Do not write the size of each output file to standard output as it is
|
|
created.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar arg
|
|
operand may be a combination of the following patterns:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Sm off
|
|
.No / Ar regexp No /
|
|
.Op Oo Cm + | - Oc Ar offset
|
|
.Sm on
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Create a file containing the input from the current line to (but not including)
|
|
the next line matching the given basic regular expression.
|
|
An optional
|
|
.Ar offset
|
|
from the line that matched may be specified.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Sm off
|
|
.No % Ar regexp No %
|
|
.Op Oo Cm + | - Oc Ar offset
|
|
.Sm on
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Same as above but a file is not created for the output.
|
|
.It Ar line_no
|
|
Create containing the input from the current line to (but not including)
|
|
the specified line number.
|
|
.It { Ns Ar num Ns }
|
|
Repeat the previous pattern the specified number of times.
|
|
If it follows a line number pattern, a new file will be created for each
|
|
.Ar line_no
|
|
lines,
|
|
.Ar num
|
|
times.
|
|
The first line of the file is line number 1 for historic reasons.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After all the patterns have been processed, the remaining input data
|
|
(if there is any) will be written to a new file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Requesting to split at a line before the current line number or past the
|
|
end of the file will result in an error.
|
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS
