truncate will delete the rest of the file. To split a file in chunks:

1. open file for reading
2. read a chunk
3. write the chunk out to another file
4. repeat 2 and 3 until done.

Split files

How I can split files in chunks, fast ? truncate() is fast but
unfortunately the initial file disappeared after the first loop ...
