fmt -- Command

Adjust the length of lines in a file of text
fmt [-width] [textfile ... textfile]

The command fmt reads each textfile  named on its command line, and adjusts
it so that each line  is approximately width characters long.  It preserves
indentation and word spacing.

If you name no textfile on  its command line, fmt reads the standard input.
If you do not name a width on the command line, fmt adjusts each line to be
approximately 72 characters long.
