The term par refers to an equality that exists between the nominal or face value of a document — such as a bill of exchange or a share of stock — and its actual selling value. When the values are equal, the share is said to be at par; if it can be sold for more than its face value, it is above par; if it is sold for less than its nominal value, it is below par.

The computer program par is a text formatting utility for Unix, written by Adam M. Costello as a replacement for the fmt command.
Par reformats paragraphs of text to fit into a given line length optimally, keeping prefixes and suffixes intact, which is useful for formatting source code comments. It also understands the conventions commonly used for quoting in email replies, and is capable of intelligently reformatting these several levels deep while rewrapping the text they quote.
Par can be evoked from text editors such as Vim or Emacs. Par has a good Unicode support, unlike the fmt command. Par also supports text justification, unlike the fmt.
