NAME
       fmt - adjust line-length for paragraphs of text

SYNOPSIS
       fmt [-width] [files]...

DESCRIPTION
       fmt  is	a simple text formatter.  It inserts or deletes newlines, as necessary, to make all lines in a paragraph be approximately the same
       width.  It preserves indentation and word spacing.

       The default line width is 72 characters.  You can override this with the -width flag.  If you don't name any files  on  the  command  line,
       then fmt will read from stdin.

       It  is  typically used from within vi to adjust the line breaks in a single paragraph.  To do this, move the cursor to the top of the para-
       graph, type "!}fmt", and hit <Return>.
