Description Leo Laursen 2004-10-31 12:59:16 UTC
According to documentation, dog has an option "-w n" where n is number of columns
Using it witout quotes gives the default value of 80 columnes regardless of n
using "-w n" (with quotes )gives n columnes.

Reproducible: Always

the correct syntax is `dog -w#` ... the manpage is just formatted in an ugly manor so you cant tell ... `dog -h` shows the correct format

touched up the manpage to read:
'[-w<cols>]' instead of '[-w cols]'
'-w<n>' instead of '-w n'
