.TP
-\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-numeric\-suffixes\fR[=\fIFROM\fR]
-use numeric suffixes instead of alphabetic;
-FROM changes the start value (default 0)
+\fB\-\-numeric\-suffixes\fR[=\fI\,FROM\/\fR]

-SIZE is an integer and optional unit (example: 10M is 10*1024*1024). Units
-are K, M, G, T, P, E, Z, Y (powers of 1024) or KB, MB, ... (powers of 1000).
-.PP
-CHUNKS may be:
-N split into N files based on size of input
-K/N output Kth of N to stdout
-l/N split into N files without splitting lines
-l/K/N output Kth of N to stdout without splitting lines
-r/N like 'l' but use round robin distribution
-r/K/N likewise but only output Kth of N to stdout
