NAME
       fold - fold long lines for finite width output device

SYNOPSIS
       fold [ -width ] [ file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       _F_o_l_d  is  a filter which will fold the contents of the specified files,
       or the standard input if no files are specified, breaking the lines  to
       have  maximum  width _w_i_d_t_h_.  The default for _w_i_d_t_h is 80.  _W_i_d_t_h should
       be a multiple of 8 if tabs are present, or the tabs should be  expanded
       using _e_x_p_a_n_d(1) before coming to _f_o_l_d_.

SEE ALSO
       expand(1)

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