PR (l) PR (l)
NAME
pr - print files
SYNOPSIS
pr [ options ] [ files ]
DESCRIPTION
Pr prints the named files on the standard output. If file is -, or
if no files are specified, the standard input is assumed. By default,
the listing is separated into pages, each headed by the page
number, a date and time, and the name of the file.
By default, columns are of equal width, separated by at least one
space; lines which do not fit are truncated. If the -s option is
used, lines are not truncated and columns are separated by the
separation character.
If the standard output is associated with a terminal, error messages
are withheld until pr has completed printing.
The below options may appear singly or be combined in any order:
+k Begin printing with page k (default is 1).
-k Produce k-column output (default is 1). The options -e
and -i are assumed for multi-column output.
-a Print multi-column output across the page.
-m Merge and print all files simultaneously, one per column
(overrides the -k, and -a options).
-d Double-space the output.
-eck Expand input tabs to character positions k+1, 2*k+1,
3*k+1, etc. If k is 0 or is omitted, default tab settings at
every eighth position are assumed. Tab characters in the
input are expanded into the appropriate number of spaces.
If c (any non-digit character) is given, it is treated as the
input tab character (default for c is the tab character).
-ick In output, replace white space wherever possible by inserting
tabs to character positions k+1, 2*k+1, 3*k+1, etc.
If k is 0 or is omitted, default tab settings at every eighth
position are assumed. If c (any non-digit character) is
given, it is treated as the output tab character (default for
c is the tab character).
-nck Provide k-digit line numbering (default for k is 5). The
number occupies the first k + 1 character positions of each
column of normal output or each line of -m output. If c
(any non-digit character) is given, it is appended to the
line number to separate it from whatever follows (default
for c is a tab).
-w k Set the width of a line to k character positions (default is
72 for equal-width multi-column output, no limit otherwise).
