      Par is similar but superiour to the fmt(1) command included in the
      base system.

      Par is a filter that copies its input to its output, changing all
      white characters (except newlines) to spaces, and reformatting
      each paragraph.  Paragraphs are separated by protected, blank, and
      bodiless lines (see the Terminology section for definitions), and
      optionally delimited by indentation (see the d option in the Options
      section).

      Each output paragraph is generated from the corresponding input
      paragraph as follows:

       1) An optional prefix and/or suffix is removed from each input line.
       2) The remainder is divided into words (separated by spaces).
       3) The words are joined into lines to make an eye-pleasing paragraph.
       4) The prefixes and suffixes are reattached.

       If there are suffixes, spaces are inserted before them so that they
       all end in the same column.
