jschauma | fix synopsis to indicate that options '-l' and '-n' are mutually inclusive

jschauma | auto-extend suffix length if required
If the input cannot be split into the number of files resulting from the
default suffix length, automatically extend the suffix length rather than
bailing out with 'too many files'.
Suffixes are extended such that the resulting files continue to sort
lexically and "cat *" would reproduce the input. For example, splitting
a 1M lines file into (default) 1000 lines per file would yield files
named 'xaa', 'xab', ..., 'xyy', 'xyz', 'xzaaa', 'xzaab', ..., 'xzanl'.
If '-a' is specified, the suffix length is not auto-extended.
This behavior matches GNU sort(1) since around version 8.16.

jschauma | Add a new command-line option "-n chunk_count", that splits the input
file into chunk_count smaller files. Each file will be size/chunk_count
bytes large, with whatever spillover there is ending up in the chunk_counth
file.

bjh21 | Remove the hack that varied the first character of the output filename if
a base name wasn't specified. It's not really necessary now that we've
got -a, it's ugly, and POSIX doesn't permit it.
Suggested on tech-userlevel a couple of weeks ago to a deafening silence.

bjh21 | Cleanup:
Correct synopsis to show that -l and -b are mutually exclusive.
Put [k|m] in the right typefaces.
Use .Ql for 'k' and 'm' in text.
Refer to the option-argument of -l as <line_length> consistently.

| 1.10 |
| 10-Jun-2003 |
bjh21 | From FreeBSD:
Allow "-" to be specified as an operand as well as an option.
SUSV3 requires something like "split -- -" to work. Document the "-" operand.

bjh21 | Add support for the -a option, which should fix standards/11226.
Code from <hiramatu@boreas.dti.ne.jp>, with improvements from me.
