     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

     Page 1                       Plan 9             (printed 3/28/24)

               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.
