DESCRIPTION

     fold 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 max-
     imum of 80 characters.

     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      Specifies a line width to use instead of the default 80 charac-
             ters.

     The fold utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO

     expand(1)

STANDARDS

     The fold utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'').

BUGS

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

     Width should be a multiple of 8 if tabs are present, or the tabs should
     be expanded using expand(1) before using fold.
