having to specify the right number of bytes. Obtained from: NetBSD Submitted by: Jan Schaumann PR: 113175

Add support for splitting at gigabyte boundaries. [1]

Respect locale settings from the environment.

Support larger files (at least 64-bit offsets) by using off_t instead of

2002-07-15T05:31:55Z

int to store offsets.

Remove where we use already.

protoize.

Allow "-" to be specified as an operand as well as an option.

SUSV3 requires something like "split -- -" to work. Document the "-" operand.

Avoid overflowing `fname' if the file name prefix given on the command
