     NAME
          bsplit - split binary data into fixed-size chunks

     SYNOPSIS
          bsplit [ -p prefix ] [ -s size ] [ file ...  ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Bsplit copies binary data from input files into a series of
          files with names starting with prefix (`bs.' by default) and
          of a fixed size (512MB by default).  The last file may be
          shorter than size. This can be useful when copying large
          amounts of data onto fixed-size storage media such as CDs or
          DVDs.
