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.
