Name
       fold - fold long lines for finite width output device

Syntax
       fold [-b] [-s] [-w width or -width] [file...]

Description
       The  command is a filter which folds the contents of each specified file, or the standard input if no file is specified, breaking the lines
       to have maximum width width.

Options
       -b   Causes each `<backspace>' in a line to be interpreted as decrementing the line length by one.

       -s   Breaks the line on the last <blank> character found before the specified length. If none are found the line breaks	at  the  specified
	    length.

       -w width or -width
	    Specify  the  maximum  line width, in bytes. The default value is 80.  The width should be a multiple of 8 if tabs are present, or the
	    tabs should be expanded using before coming to

Restrictions
       The command may interfere with underlining.

Return Values
       The command returns zero (0) on successful completion.

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.  Width 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 is present it may be messed up by folding.
