.Nm
.Op Fl a Ar num
.Op Fl b Ar num[k|m|g] | Fl l Ar num
.Op Fl d

runs out of suffixes, it stops after the last valid filename.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl a Ar num
Set suffix length to
.Ar num
characters.
The default is 2.
.It Fl b Ar num[k|m|g] | Fl l Ar num
Start a new file every
.Ar num
bytes | lines.
The units k, m, and g are case insensitive and powers of 2, not 10.
The default is 1000 lines.

.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr cat 1
.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Nm
utility is compliant with the
.St -p1003.1-2013
specification.
.Pp
The
.Op Fl d
flag and g unit are an extension to that specification.
POSIX 2013 audit Mostly manpage-shuffling according to the changes in the corrigendum, wording changes and more idiomatic expressions. All this is finished up by marking the POSIX 2013 conformant tools with .St -p1003.1-2013 which is not available in older mandoc builds or nroff, but which reflects what we actually did, so who cares? This is a huge step and it's not far until we can release sbase 0.1. 2015-03-27 16:22:48 +00:00			`.Dd March 27, 2015`
