Also notice that each new file has a prefix “datasplit_” added to the command to enable you to differentiate the new files. split -5 data datasplit_ datasplit_aa datasplit_ab datasplit_ac datasplit_ad datasplit_ae datasplit_af datasplit_ag datasplit_ah datasplit_ai datasplit_aj datasplit_ak datasplit_al datasplit_am datasplit_an datasplit_ao datasplit_ap datasplit_aq datasplit_ar ---cut--- In the example you can see that the default is to start with a file name of aa and precede onward.
