- This manual page documents the GNU version of ffffoooolllldddd. ffffoooolllldddd
- 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, back-
- spaces, and carriage returns are each counted as taking
- up one column, just like other characters.
-
- -_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 maximum 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 status.
-
- --_v_e_r_s_i_o_n
- Print version information on standard output then exit.
