To split a large file into several smaller files, user can use a split command (on linux).
split --bytes=SIZE largeFile smallFilePrefix
Example - User have large file of 50M and to split it into several small 1M files then we can use
split --bytes=1M largeFile smallFile
A lot of smallFile* files was generated.
To count those small file below code is used.
ls smallFile* | wc -l
we get 53 small files using the above command of them.
If user wish to restore the original file, then use
cat smallFile* > originalFile
