|
|
`fmt {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Reformat a file producing output lines of (at most) `n` characters:
|
|
|
|
`fmt {{[-w|--width]}} {{n}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Reformat a file without joining lines shorter than the given width together:
|
|
|
|
`fmt {{[-s|--split-only]}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Reformat a file with uniform spacing (1 space between words and 2 spaces between paragraphs):
|
|
|
|
`fmt {{[-u|--uniform-spacing]}} {{path/to/file}}`
