The word "smaller" is misleading, as on first reading, one assumes -b will create smaller than default size, & only if one tries to specify eg -b 1000000 does one discover one can get "smaller" files of 1000000 that are larger than the default of ~70K (taking split /var/log/messages.0 as example) Fix: http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/freebsd/src/gen/usr.bin/split/split.1.REL=ALL.diff How-To-Repeat: man split
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->freebsd-doc Move this over to docs.
Author: trhodes Date: Sat Jan 24 05:32:11 2009 New Revision: 187663 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/187663 Log: When "-b" is specified, one could easily create "smaller" files that are much larger than expected (given the default size). Change "smaller files" to "split files" which is more in line with what "-b" actually does.
