NAME
breed - prepare files for reedSYNOPSIS
breed [options] [filename]DESCRIPTION
breed prepares files for viewing by reed. Although the most common use is viewing compressed files (.gz, .bz2, etc), it also supports many other file formats. It can only take one filename as a parameter, however.breed has some advantages over other generic viewer programs (like lessfile or zmore) because it can tell Reed the "real" filename so bookmarks act correctly.
OPTIONS
Breed has the same options as Reed. In addition, if you have /usr/bin/fold installed, Breed can word wrap text automatically, using the -w parameter.USAGE
