    F\bFo\bol\bld\bd is a filter which folds the contents of the specified files, or the
    standard input if no files are specified, breaking the lines to have max-
    imum of 80 characters.

    The options are as follows:

    -\b-w\bw      Specifies a line width to use instead of the default 80 charac-
            ters.  _\bW_\bi_\bd_\bt_\bh should be a multiple of 8 if tabs are present, or
            the tabs should be expanded using expand(1) before using f\bfo\bol\bld\bd.

    If underlining is present it may be messed up by folding.
