| 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. `−e` n Set the tab stops for input text every n spaces. `−h` Take the next argument as a page header (file by default). `−i` n Replace sequences of blanks in the output by tabs, using tab stops set every n spaces. `−f` Use form feeds to separate pages. `−l` n 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` m Number the lines of each file. The numeric argument m, default 5, sets the width of the line-number field. `−o` n 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. `−s` c 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. `−w` n For multi-column output, take the width of the page to be n characters instead of the default 72.
