NAME

       fold - fold long lines for finite width output device

SYNOPSIS

       fold [ -width ] [ file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Fold  is  a filter which will fold the contents of the specified files, or the standard input if no files are specified, breaking the lines
       to have maximum width width.  The default for width is 80.  Width should be a multiple of 8 if tabs are present,  or  the  tabs	should	be
       expanded using expand(1) before coming to fold.

SEE ALSO

       expand(1)

BUGS

       If underlining is present it may be messed up by folding.

NAME

     fold -- fold long lines for finite width output device

SYNOPSIS

     fold [-bs] [-w width] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The fold utility is a filter which folds the contents of the specified files, or the standard input if no files are specified, breaking the
     lines to have a maximum of 80 columns.

     The options are as follows:

     -b      Count width in bytes rather than column positions.

     -s      Fold line after the last blank character within the first width column positions (or bytes).

     -w width
	     Specify a line width to use instead of the default 80 columns.  The width value should be a multiple of 8 if tabs are present, or the
	     tabs should be expanded using expand(1) before using fold.

ENVIRONMENT

     The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of fold as described in environ(7).

SEE ALSO

     expand(1), fmt(1)

STANDARDS

     The fold utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').

BUGS

     If underlining (see ul(1)) is present it may be messed up by folding.
