If ``-m`` or ``--max`` is specified, at most MAX splits are done on each STRING. If ``-r`` or ``--right`` is given, splitting is performed right-to-left. This is useful in combination with ``-m`` or ``--max``. With ``-n`` or ``--no-empty``, empty results are excluded from consideration (e.g. ``hello\n\nworld`` would expand to two strings and not three). Exit status: 0 if at least one split was performed, or 1 otherwise. -Use ``-f`` or ``--fields`` to print out specific fields. Unless ``--allow-empty` is used, if a given field does not exist, then the command exits with status 1 and does not print anything. +Use ``-f`` or ``--fields`` to print out specific fields.
