third party format like 7z or another format ...

thanx!

Hi,

on Linux there is a single command to do file splitting. Try .

To uncompress, you do this, lets assume that you have split the files to files.tar.gz.partaa, files.tar.gz.partab, files.tar.gz.partac, etc

cat files.part* | gunzip | tar xvf -

It always helps to read the man pages :-) doesn't it?

zipsplit [-hiLpst] [-n size] [-b path] zipfile

Linux Archive

Use p7zip, it supports volumes for both zip and 7z formats.

kindly thanx to all friend for help me ...

any idea much appreciated ..

thanx...

Normally I'd agree w/ you, but neither the zipsplit man page on my MEPIS 7 box nor the one at die.net, has an entry explaining "-n size". We might guess that when zip is invoked as zipsplit, that the "-n size" option tells it the maximum desired size of the compressed pieces; but I can't find where the man page actually says this.

split -b 5000000 file.zip file.zip command splits the file.zip into a bunch of the files of 5000000 bytes each named file.zipaa to file.zipzz. To unzip them you need first to concatenate them into zip file using the command cat file.zip?? > newfile.zip.

zipsplit -n 5000000 file.zip command splits file.zip into a bunch of zip files named file1.zip, file2.zip, and so on. The number after -n switch should be greater than the size of the biggest file stored in the original file.zip. The resulting zip files are independent -- you can unzip them separately.

Any idea where to find a proper man page for zipsplit?

I used zipsplit -h command and tested the behavior of the program. Some man page you'll find there: http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/zipsplit/. It's similar to the output of zipsplit -h.
