-====== Ubuntu - File - Split big files ======
-To split big files, the **split** command can be used.
-For example to split a 400MB file named bigfile into 100MB chunk files named smallfile0*
-<code bash>
-split -b 100M -d --verbose bigfile smallfile
-creating file 'smallfile00'
-creating file 'smallfile01'
-creating file 'smallfile02'
-creating file 'smallfile03'
-</code>
-where:
-  * **-b** is for byte size.
-  * **-d** is for numeric suffixes.
-  * **smallfile** is the prefix to be used.
-The output is:
-<code bash>
-ls
-bigfile smallfile00 smallfile01 smallfile02 smallfile03
-</code>
-To recover back the splitted files into a file named newbigfile:
-<code bash>
-cat smallfile0* > newbigfile
-</code>
