       fmt - manual page for fmt 0.0.14

DESCRIPTION

       /build/rust-coreutils-mQkL0l/rust-coreutils-0.0.14/debian/tmp/usr/bin/fmt  0.0.14 Reformat
       paragraphs from input files (or stdin) to stdout.

   USAGE:
              /build/rust-coreutils-mQkL0l/rust-coreutils-0.0.14/debian/tmp/usr/bin/fmt
              [OPTION]... [FILE]...

   ARGS:
              <files>...

   OPTIONS:
       -c, --crown-margin
              First  and  second line of paragraph may have different indentations, in which case
              the first line's indentation is preserved, and each subsequent  line's  indentation
              matches the second line.

       -g, --goal <GOAL>
              Goal width, default ~0.94*WIDTH. Must be less than WIDTH.

       -h, --help
              Print help information

       -m, --preserve-headers
              Attempt to detect and preserve mail headers in the input. Be careful when combining
              this flag with -p.

       -p, --prefix <PREFIX>
              Reformat only lines beginning with PREFIX, reattaching PREFIX to reformatted lines.
              Unless -x is specified, leading whitespace will be ignored when matching PREFIX.

       -P, --skip-prefix <PSKIP>
              Do  not  reformat  lines  beginning  with  PSKIP.  Unless  -X is specified, leading
              whitespace will be ignored when matching PSKIP

       -q, --quick
              Break lines more quickly at the expense of a potentially more ragged appearance.

       -s, --split-only
              Split lines only, do not reflow.

       -t, --tagged-paragraph
              Like -c, except that the first and second line of a paragraph *must* have different
              indentation or they are treated as separate paragraphs.

       -T, --tab-width <TABWIDTH>
              Treat  tabs  as  TABWIDTH  spaces for determining line length, default 8. Note that
              this is used only for calculating line lengths; tabs are preserved in the output.

       -u, --uniform-spacing
              Insert exactly one space between words, and two between sentences.  Sentence breaks
              in  the  input  are  detected  as  [?!.] followed by two spaces or a newline; other
              punctuation is not interpreted as a sentence break.

       -V, --version
              Print version information

       -w, --width <WIDTH>
              Fill output lines up to a maximum of WIDTH columns, default 79.

       -x, --exact-prefix
              PREFIX must match at the beginning of the line with no preceding whitespace.

       -X, --exact-skip-prefix
              PSKIP must match at the beginning of the line with no preceding whitespace.
