Package: coreutils Version: 6.10-6 The maximum fmt --width allowed is 2500. This is undocumented; runs counter to the "no arbitrary limits" principle purportedly adopted for GNU Tools; and is also sort of silly.
$ echo foo | fmt --width=2500 foo $ echo foo | fmt --width=2501 fmt: invalid width: `2501' bash: echo: write error: Broken pipe It also makes fmt less useful for de-breaking broken paragraphs, which is useful when pasting ascii text files into wysiwyg word processors. -- Barak A.
