csplit: add the --suppress-matched option
With --suppress-matched, the lines that match the pattern will not be printed in the output files. I.E. the first line from the second and subsequent splits will be suppressed. * src/csplit.c: process_regexp(),process_line_count(): Don't output the matched lines. Since csplit includes "up to but not including" matched lines in each split, the first line (in the next group) is the matched line - so just skip it. main(): Handle new option. usage(): Mention new option. * doc/coreutils.texi (csplit invocation): Mention new option, examples. * tests/misc/csplit-suppress-matched.pl: New test script. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention new feature.
