Wraps each line in an input file to fit a specified width and prints it to the standard output.

  • Wrap each line to default width (80 characters):

fold {{file}}

  • Wrap each line to width "30":

fold -w30 {{file}}

  • Wrap each line to width "5" and break the line at spaces (puts each space separated word in a new line, words with length > 5 are wrapped):

fold -w5 -s {{file}}
