NAME
|
|
fmt - adjust line-length for paragraphs of text
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
fmt [-width] [files]...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
fmt is a simple text formatter. It inserts or deletes newlines, as
|
|
necessary, to make all lines in a paragraph be approximately the same
|
|
width. It preserves indentation and word spacing.
|
|
|
|
The default line width is 72 characters. You can override this with the
|
|
-width flag. If you don't name any files on the command line, then fmt
|
|
will read from stdin.
|
|
|
|
It is typically used from within vi to adjust the line breaks in a single
|
|
paragraph. To do this, move the cursor to the top of the paragraph, type
|
|
"!}fmt", and hit <Return>.
