I think it should fix all the issues that are mentioned in the PR (except adding the -p option). I mean, a good SYNOPSIS in my opinion would look like this: SYNOPSIS split [-l line_count] [-a suffix_length] [file [name]] split -b byte_count[k|m] [-a suffix_length] [file [name]] split -p pattern [-a suffix_length] [file [name]] Feel free to also borrow any changes in option and argument names, and any descriptional text if it makes it look better. Just make sure the SYNOPSIS and usage() stay in sync. Cheers, -- Ruslan Ermilov ru@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer
