FOLD(1)             UNIX Programmer's Manual		  FOLD(1)


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 speci-
     fied 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.
