NAME

bsplit – split binary data into fixed–size chunks

SYNOPSIS

bsplit [ –p prefix ] [ –s size ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Bsplit copies binary data from input files into a series of files with names starting with prefix (bs. by default) and of a fixed size (512MB by default). The last file may be shorter than size. This can be useful when copying large amounts of data onto fixed–size storage media such as CDs or DVDs.
