# fmt
> Reformat a text file by joining its paragraphs and limiting the line width to given number of characters (75 by default).
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/fmt>.
- Reformat a file:
`fmt {{path/to/file}}`
- Reformat a file producing output lines of (at most) `n` characters:
`fmt -w {{n}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Reformat a file without joining lines shorter than the given width together:
`fmt -s {{path/to/file}}`
- Reformat a file with uniform spacing (1 space between words and 2 spaces between paragraphs):
`fmt -u {{path/to/file}}`
