If you have a 14 MB log file and you want to split it into multiple 5 MB files using Linux commands, you can use the split command. Here's how you can do it:
split -b 5M yourlogfile.log prefix_
In this command:
- 
splitis the command used to split files. - 
-b 5Mspecifies that you want to split the file into chunks of 5 MB each. - 
yourlogfile.logis the name of the input log file you want to split. - 
prefix_is the prefix you want to use for the output files. The command will generate files namedprefix_aa,prefix_ab, and so on. 
After running this command, your log file will be split into multiple 5 MB files with the specified prefix. If you have a total of 14 MB of data, you will get three files: prefix_aa (5 MB), prefix_ab (5 MB), and prefix_ac (4 MB). The last file will be smaller if the input file size is not evenly divisible by 5 MB.
