- NAME
- fold - wrap each input line to fit in specified width
-
- SYNOPSIS
- fold [-bs] [-w width] [+bytes] [+spaces] [+width=width]
- [file...]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This manual page documents the GNU version of fold. fold
- 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.
-
- OPTIONS
-
- -_✓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.
