fold
: Wrap input lines to fit in specified width
fold
writes each file (`-' means standard input), or
standard input if none are given, to standard output, breaking long
lines. Synopsis:
fold [option]... [file]... |
By default, fold
breaks lines wider than 80 columns. The output
is split into as many lines as necessary.
fold
counts screen columns by default; thus, a tab may count more
than one column, backspace decreases the column count, and carriage
return sets the column to zero.
The program accepts the following options. Also see 2. Common options.
On older systems, fold
supports an obsolete option
`-width'. POSIX 1003.1-2001 (see section 2.5 Standards conformance) does not allow this; use `-w width'
instead.
