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.

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.
