121If additional arguments are specified, the first is used as the name
122of the input file which is to be split.
123If a second additional argument is specified, it is used as a prefix
124for the names of the files into which the file is split.
125In this case, each file into which the file is split is named by the
126prefix followed by a lexically ordered suffix using
127.Ar suffix_length
128characters in the range
129.Dq Li a Ns - Ns Li z .
130If
131.Fl a
132is not specified, two letters are used as the suffix.

134If the
135.Ar prefix
136argument is not specified, the file is split into lexically ordered
137files named with the prefix
