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 odd number of pages. 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.
