FOLD(1L) MISC. REFERENCE MANUAL PAGES FOLD(1L)
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.
The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well as
`--', for compatibility with previous releases. Eventually
support for `+' will be removed, because it is incompatible
with the POSIX.2 standard.
