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
