Subject: [9fans] split(1): -e vs. -n, -f
Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2013 11:10:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <462816165.fiyU6ZYvxS@coil> (raw)

hi list,


both behavior and code indicate that split(1)'s  `-e' (split by regular 
expression) doesn't play along with either `-n' (line count) or `-f' (output 
file prefix). the former is somewhat understandable, but the later is strange 
in lieu of `-s' (output file suffix) working just fine.

that by accident or is there some rationale?
