The -F and -f options are incorrectly specified, as detailed in the attached
fix patch to the manual pages source file.

For convenience, the diff from the resultant text is:

<              80), like fold(1), except that a hidden newline sequence is
used,
<              (which is removed when inverting the file back to its original
<              form with unvis(1)).  If the last character in the encoded file
<              does not end in a newline, a hidden newline sequence is appended
<              to the output.  This makes the output usable with various
editors
<              and other utilities which typically don't work with partial
<              lines.
