NAME
pr - print file
SYNOPSIS
pr [ option ] ... [ file ] ...
DESCRIPTION
Pr produces a printed listing of one or more files. The
output is
separated into pages headed by a date, the name of the file
or a
specified header, and the page number. If there are no file
arguments, pr prints its standard input.
Options apply to all following
files but may be reset between
files:
-n Produce n-column output.
+n Begin printing with page n.
-h Take the next argument as a page header.
-wn For purposes of multi-column
output, take the width of the
page to be n characters instead of the default 72.
-f Use formfeeds instead of
newlines to separate pages. A
formfeed is assumed to use up two blank lines at the top of
a
page. (Thus this option does not affect the effective page
length.)
-ln Take the length of the page
to be n lines instead of the
default 66.
-t Do not print the 5-line
header or the 5-line trailer normally
supplied for each page.
-sc Separate columns by the
single character c instead of by the
appropriate amount of white space. A missing c is taken to
be
a tab.
-m Print all files simultaneously, each in one column,
Inter-terminal messages via write(1) are forbidden during a pr.
FILES
/dev/tty? to suspend messages.
