File write

This executable can write data to local files.
  1. CommentWrites the data to xx0output-file in the current working directory. If needed, a different prefix can be specified with -f (instead of xx).
    This function can be performed by any unprivileged user.
    echo DATA >/path/to/temp-file
    csplit -z -b '%doutput-file' /path/to/temp-file 1
    This function is performed by the privileged user if executed via sudo because the acquired privileges are not dropped.
    RemarksIf there are environment variables involved, they must be passed via sudo VAR=value ... or exported then sudo -E ....
    echo DATA >/path/to/temp-file
    csplit -z -b '%doutput-file' /path/to/temp-file 1
    This function is performed by the privileged user if the executable has the SUID bit set and the right ownership because the effective privileges are not dropped.

    csplit -z -b '%doutput-file' /path/to/temp-file 1
