DESCRIPTION

12       Split reads file and writes it in n-line pieces (default 1000), as many
13       as necessary, onto a set of output files.  The name of the first output
14       file is name with aa appended, and so on lexicographically.  If no out‐
15       put name is given, x is default.
16
17       If no input file is given, or if - is given  in  its  stead,  then  the
18       standard input file is used.
