install gnu command

Question

I have the command split installed. However I need the '--filter'argument, which is supported by gnu's split command. SO I need to install gnu split. How do I do that on my mac? I tried

$ brew install coreutils

but its already up to date. Then I tried doing

$ brew install split
$ brew install gnu-split

It says the command is not available:

Error: No available formula for gnu-split 

How can I install any specific gnu command, on mac os (and linux as well)?

Brew install coreutils

your commands will be accessible with g préfix so call gsplit
