PR(1)                       General Commands Manual                      PR(1)



NAME
       pr - print file

SYNOPSIS
       pr [ option ] ...  [ file ] ...

DESCRIPTION
       Pr produces a printed listing of one or more files.  The output is sep‐
       arated into pages headed by a date, the name of the file or a specified
       header,  and the page number.  For no file arguments, or for a file ar‐
       gument `-', 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.

       -d     double space

       -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 to separate pages.  Pause, ring bell, and wait for
              newline before beginning.

       -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 ap‐
              propriate  amount  of white space.  A missing c is taken to be a
              tab.

       -m     Print all files simultaneously, each in one column,

       -on    offset the left margin n positions

       -p     between pages pause, ring bell, and wait for newline

       -b     Balance columns on last page, in case of multi-column output.

       Inter-terminal messages via write(1) are forbidden during a pr.
