Sometimes you got the problem that a file is something too big. No problem. There
|
||
|
|
is a solution for that. The command split.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Split a file
|
||
|
|
How do we split a file? Simple. To split the file bigfile into smaller files from
|
||
|
|
100 MB with the name smallfile00, smallfile01, smallfile02 etc. we do:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
split -d -b100m bigfile smallfile
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want an extention, some people or program's like that, you can give them
|
||
|
|
an extention:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for i in `ls smallfile*` do mv $i $i.abc; done
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And you got all smaller files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Join a file
|
||
|
|
Later on, to join the files together, you can use the command cat.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cat smallfile* > bigfile
|
