Re: splitting file by size X and the remaining part

Hi Laszlo - you've reached the mailing list administrators.
You want to ask your question on the list itself: coreutils@gnu.org
would be the best place, I think.

    Subject: splitting file by size X and the remaining part

Myself, I think I would try the --bytes option to the head and tail
utilities. The split program will easily give you the first X bytes, but
it is not designed to do anything but split a file into equal pieces.
--best, karl.
