- NAME
- fmt - adjust line-length for paragraphs of text
-
- SYNOPSIS
- fmt [-width] [files]...
-
- DESCRIPTION
- fmt is a simple text formatter. It inserts or deletes
- newlines, as necessary, to make all lines in a paragraph be
- approximately the same width. It preserves indentation and
- word spacing.
-
- The default line width is 72 characters. You can override
- this with the -width flag. If you don't name any files on
- the command line, then fmt will read from stdin.
-
- It is typically used from within vi to adjust the line
- breaks in a single paragraph. To do this, move the cursor
- to the top of the paragraph, type "!}fmt", and hit <Return>.
