@(#)pr.1 6.1 (Berkeley) 04/29/85

C 4 pr - print file pr [ option ] ... [ file ] ... Pr produces a printed listing of one or more files. The output is separated into pages headed by a date, the name of the file or a specified header, and the page number. If there are 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.

-h Take the next argument as a page header.

-w n For purposes of multi-column output, take the width of the page to be n characters instead of the default 72.

-f Use formfeeds instead of newlines to separate pages. A formfeed is assumed to use up two blank lines at the top of a page. (Thus this option does not affect the effective page length.)

-l n 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.

-s c Separate columns by the single character c instead of by the appropriate amount of white space. A missing c is taken to be a tab.

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

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

/dev/tty? to suspend messages. cat(1) There are no diagnostics when pr is printing on a terminal.
