- This manual page documents the GNU version of ffoolldd. ffoolldd
- 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,
- backspaces, and carriage returns are each counted
- as taking up one column, just like other charac-
- ters.
-
- _-_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 max-
- imum 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 sta-
- tus.
-
- _-_-_v_e_r_s_i_o_n
- Print version information on standard error then
- exit.
