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. -b Balance columns on last page, in case of multi-column output. -d Double space. -h Take the next argument as a page header (file by default). -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. -m Print all files simultaneously, each in one column. -n Number the lines of each file. -on Offset the left margin n character positions. -p Between pages pause, ring bell, and wait for newline. -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 purposes of multi-column output, take the width of the page to be n characters instead of the default 72. Inter-terminal messages via write(1) are forbidden during a pr. FILES to suspend messages SEE ALSO cat(1), lp(1), thinkblt(9.1) DIAGNOSTICS There are no diagnostics when pr is printing on a terminal.
