Q1: What is the split command in Linux Bash? A1: The split command in Linux is a utility used to split a file into fixed-size pieces. It is commonly utilized in situations where large files need to be broken down into smaller, more manageable segments for processing, storage, or transmission. Q2: How can I use split to divide a file into chunks with specific byte sizes? A2: Using split, you can specify the desired size of each chunk with the -b (or --bytes) option followed by the size you want for each output file. Here is a basic format: split -b [size][unit] [input_filename] [output_prefix] Where: [size] is the numeric value indicating chunk size.
