This man page is part of NetworkManager, however, the "problem" is in the pager, which is less by default. less wraps lines longer than screen width by default, but it can be configured to truncate them instead. Try: MANPAGER="less -S" man 5 nm-settings-ifcfg-rh You can also set it permanently in /etc/man_db.conf by adding: DEFINE pager less -S
