Manual page for PR(1)
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.
