This manual page documents the GNU version of ffoolldd. ffoolldd
prints the specified files, or the standard input when no
files are given or the filename `-' is encountered, on the
standard output. It breaks long lines into multiple
shorter lines by inserting a newline at column 80. It
counts screen columns, so tab characters usually take more
than one column, backspace characters decrease the column
count, and carriage return characters set the column count
back to zero.

_-_b_, _-_-_b_y_t_e_s
Count bytes rather than columns, so that tabs,
backspaces, and carriage returns are each counted
as taking up one column, just like other charac-
ters.
_-_s_, _-_-_s_p_a_c_e_s
Break at word boundaries. If the line contains any
blanks, the line is broken after the last blank
that falls within the maximum line length. If
there are no blanks, the line is broken at the max-
imum line length, as usual.
_-_w_, _-_-_w_i_d_t_h _w_i_d_t_h
Use a maximum line length of _w_i_d_t_h columns instead
of 80.
_-_-_h_e_l_p Print a usage message and exit with a non-zero sta-
tus.
_-_-_v_e_r_s_i_o_n
Print version information on standard error then
exit.
