NAME
       wrap - filter to word-wrap text

SYNOPSIS
       wrap [-w width] [--version --help]

DESCRIPTION
       This program reads text from standard input, word-wraps it, and writes
       the result to standard output. The text is formatted to fit a specified
       number of columns. Extraneous whitespace is removed and lines are only
       broken on word boundaries.

OPTIONS
       --help
            Display a command synopsis and exit.

       --version
            Display the program's version information and exit.

       -w width
            Specify the maximum number of columns width that the text may
            span. The minimum value of width is 10.

SEE ALSO
       less(1), fold(1)

NOTES
       If wrap encounters a word that is longer than the specified column
       width, the word is broken across two or more lines to fit within that
       number of columns.
