# xan split
```txt
Splits the given CSV data into smaller files having a fixed number of
rows given to -s, --size.
Target file can also be split into a given number of -c/--chunks.
Files will be written in current working directory by default or in any directory
given to -O/--out-dir (that will be created for your if necessary).
Usage:
xan split [options] []
xan split --help
split options:
-O, --out-dir
Where to write the chunks. Defaults to current working
directory.
-S, --size The number of records to write into each chunk.
[default: 4096]
-c, --chunks Divide the file into at most chunks having
roughly the same number of records. Target file must be
seekable (e.g. this will not work with stdin nor gzipped
files).
--segments When used with -c/--chunks, output the byte offsets of
found segments instead.
-f, --filename A filename template to use when constructing
the names of the output files. The string '{}'
will be replaced either by the index in original file of
first row emitted when using -S/--size or by the chunk
index when using -c/--chunks.
[default: {}.csv]
Common options:
-h, --help Display this message
-n, --no-headers When set, the first row will NOT be interpreted
as column names. Otherwise, the first row will
appear in all chunks as the header row.
-d, --delimiter The field delimiter for reading CSV data.
Must be a single character.
