Example usage

$ lorem-ipsum
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Cupidatat eu consectetur lorem irure reprehenderit nisi id velit et consequat. Aute dolor minim cupidatat tempor nulla sit in. Quis tempor, sit, eu aliquip ut fugiat est ullamco laboris irure exercitation aute.

Voluptate ullamco veniam elit ea aliquip sit. Ipsum eu dolor dolore, amet laborum qui nostrud, quis labore. Reprehenderit sit ex sint commodo dolore, pariatur qui est fugiat veniam velit laborum ea labore.

Or, to get a wrapped, we can use the GNU fold command:

$ lorem-ipsum | fold -w 80 -s
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor 
incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Veniam culpa officia ipsum qui 
nisi labore ex eiusmod, dolor consequat. Amet consectetur tempor cillum duis 
incididunt mollit ex.

Ut sit labore do velit eu, lorem id in enim dolore ea eiusmod cupidatat irure. 
Deserunt eiusmod velit et qui veniam nostrud duis ea elit dolore ullamco 
adipiscing. Elit voluptate velit enim laborum, culpa duis.
