I would like to propose a feature that allows to gzip/bzip on its way out during the split and I am also including the patch for the same.
I think a better approach would be to add a --on-output-hook=PROGRAM command, then one can call any arbitrary command when split outputs a file. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
