Hi,
fold -b -w10 generated/unstripped/toybox
fold -w10  generated/unstripped/toybox

fold  does operate on non text files, you can pipe it to less and see the quick difference, i know no one would use fold in this way
but still, lets focus on fixing the bugs 😊
Thanks
Haroon

It *is* a regular file, but it's not a *text* file. Being a text file depends on
the contents of the file, such as it can't contain NUL characters and must end
with a newline character.
