[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,

In the invocation paget [0] describing csplit, the following is said:

    In any case, concatenating the output files in sorted order by file name produces the original input file.

However, that is not true if a pattern was skipped, i.e., with the
percent sign.

I think either removing that line or clarifying that point is fine.

Cheers,
