I know this really isnt homebrew, but its still dev related...
Does anyone know how to split up large files into multiple pieces? That is, I'm writing a program, and I have some lage files that need to be chopped up into smaller pieces. does anyone know how to do this? or any libs out there that may help me?
Thanks a bunch

Read a chunk from the source file.
Write the chunk to a dest file.
Read another chunk from the source file
Write the chunk to a different dest file.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

What on earth has gamedev.net got to do with splitting a file into abitrary sized chunks?
This is just common sense, logical, "how do I solve a problem?" thinking... ahem.

If you are on unix, there is the "split" command.
If you are on unix, I assume you know how to lookup how to use it.
