PR(1)

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.

-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.
