    _\bF_\bo_\bl_\bd 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 _\bw_\bi_\bd_\bt_\bh. The default
    for _\bw_\bi_\bd_\bt_\bh is 80.  _\bW_\bi_\bd_\bt_\bh should be a multiple of 8 if tabs
    are present, or the tabs should be expanded using _\be_\bx_\bp_\ba_\bn_\bd(1)
    before coming to _\bf_\bo_\bl_\bd.
