FOLD(1) BSD General Commands Manual FOLD(1) 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. SEE ALSO expand(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. BSD April 17, 2002 BSD
