When should you use split command?

The split command is a useful utility in Linux for breaking down large files into smaller, more manageable pieces. This can be particularly helpful in situations where you need to transfer files over a network that has size limitations, or when you want to process parts of a large file individually.

Here are some common scenarios where using the split command is advantageous:

• When dealing with large log files that need to be analyzed in parts.
• When you need to send a huge dataset through email or upload it to a server with file size constraints.
• For improving performance by processing large files in parallel.
• When preparing files for burning onto CDs or USB drives with size limits.
