NAME
pr - print file
SYNOPSIS
pr [ option ... ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Pr produces a printed listing of one or more files on its
standard output. The output is separated into pages headed
by a date, the name of the file or a specified header, and
the page number. With 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.
-b Balance columns on last page, in case of multi-column
output.
-d Double space.
-en Set the tab stops for input text every n spaces.
-h Take the next argument as a page header (file by
default).
-in Replace sequences of blanks in the output by tabs,
using tab stops set every n spaces.
-f Use form feeds to separate pages.
-ln Take the length of the page to be n lines instead of
the default 66.
-m Print all files simultaneously, each in one column.
-nm Number the lines of each file. The numeric argument m,
default 5, sets the width of the line-number field.
-on Offset the left margin n character positions.
-p Pad each file printed to an even number of pages, if
necessary. For two-sided printers, this will ensure
each file will start a new page.
-sc Separate columns by the single character c instead of

aligning them with white space. A missing c is taken
to be a tab.
-t Do not print the 5-line header or the 5-line trailer
normally supplied for each page.
-wn For multi-column output, take the width of the page to
be n characters instead of the default 72.
