Subject: column: (usage) correct the description of --wrap-separator
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=737aa238520fbe525c7b4afb191afd0b060782fd;p=thirdparty%2Futil-linux.git

column: (usage) correct the description of --wrap-separator

Option --wrap-separator does not imply --table-wrap, but requires it
in order to have any effect.

Also, shorten the text a bit to fit within 80 columns.
