>Description:
The csplit man page documents the description for the '-k' option ambiguously. usr.bin/csplit/csplit.1 documents it as "Do not remove output files if an error occurs or a HUP, INT or TERM signal is recieved." POSIX states that output files are not removed in any situation, not just when an error occurs or a specific signal is caught. csplit does comply with this behavior, but it is documented unclearly.
