+<p>Wrap input lines to fit in specified width, writes each FILE (`-'
+ means standard input), or standard input if none are given, to standard output,
+breaking long lines.</p>
+<pre>Syntax
+ fold [<em>options</em>]... [FILE]...
+</pre>
+<p> By default, `fold' breaks lines wider than 80 columns. The output
+ is split into as many lines as necessary.<br>
+ <br>
+ `fold' counts screen columns by default; thus, a tab may count more
+ than one column, backspace decreases the column count, and carriage
+return sets the column to zero.</p>
+<pre>Options
+
+ -b
+ --bytes
+ Count bytes rather than columns, so that tabs, backspaces, and
+ carriage returns are each counted as taking up one column, just
+ like other characters.
+
+ -s
+ --spaces
+ Break at word boundaries: the line is broken after the last blank
+ before the maximum line length. If the line contains no such
+ blanks, the line is broken at the maximum line length as usual.
+
+ -w <i>WIDTH</i>
+ --width=<i>WIDTH</i>
+ Use a maximum line length of <i>WIDTH</i> columns instead of 80.</pre>
+<p><i>"The general attitude seems to be that people should wear square
+ shoes, because squares are easier to design and manufacture than foot shaped
+ shoes. If the shoe industry has gone the way of the computer industry it would
+ now be running a $200-a-day course on how to walk, run and jump in square shoes."
