NAME
       fold - fold long lines for finite width output device

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

DESCRIPTION
       Fold  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 width.  The default for width is 80.  Width should
       be a multiple of 8 if tabs are present, or the tabs should be  expanded
       using expand(1) before coming to fold.

SEE ALSO
       expand(1)

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