SYNOPSIS
       wrap [-w	width] [--version --help]

DESCRIPTION
       This  program reads text	from standard input, word-wraps	it, and	writes
       the result to standard output. The text is formatted to fit a specified
       number of columns. Extraneous whitespace	is removed and lines are  only
       broken on word boundaries.

OPTIONS
       --help
	    Display a command synopsis and exit.

       --version
	    Display the	program's version information and exit.

       -w width
	    Specify  the  maximum  number  of  columns width that the text may
	    span. The minimum value of width is	10.

SEE ALSO
       less(1),	fold(1)

NOTES
       If wrap encounters a word that is  longer  than	the  specified	column
       width,  the  word is broken across two or more lines to fit within that
       number of columns.
