SYNOPSIS
fold [-bs] [-w width] []
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).
