man console_codes (noting that "DECAWM" refers to a vt100 control sequence)
ESC [ ? 7 h
DECAWM (default on): Set autowrap on. In this mode, a graphic
character emitted after column 80 (or column 132 of DECCOLM is
on) forces a wrap to the beginning of the following line first.
man xterm
-aw This option indicates that auto-wraparound should be
allowed. This allows the cursor to automatically
wrap to the beginning of the next line when when it
is at the rightmost position of a line and text is
output.
+aw This option indicates that auto-wraparound should
not be allowed.
