Is there a maximum length for a shell script command? How can I detect that in my OS?
For example, if I have something like:

SYNOPSIS

Detailed interface description follows.
indent

Default indent is calculated as TTY_WIDTH-10. If current tty width can not be determined (for example, in case of serial console), it
