https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D269521 Bug ID: 269521 Summary: split(1): add '-c' to continue creating files Product: Base System Version: Unspecified Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jschauma@netmeister.org Created attachment 240121 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D240121&action= =3Dedit diff to split.c, split.1 Currently, split(1) will clobber any existing output files: $ split file; ls xaa xab xac xad $ split second-file; ls xaa xab xac xad xae xaf with files 'xaa' - 'xad' now having been overwritten. I often would like for it to pick up where it left off and continue creating files in the sequence. Right now, there is no good way for me to yield the desired output of "xaa xab xac xad xae xaf xag xah xai xaj". The attached diff adds a flag "-c" (mnemonic "create, don't overwrite" or "continue where you left off"): $ split file; ls xaa xab xac xad $ split -c second-file; ls xaa xab xac xad xae xaf xag xah xai xaj --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
