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.  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.

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

       -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,

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

FILES
       /dev/tty?  to suspend messages.

SEE ALSO
       cat(1)

DIAGNOSTICS
       There are no diagnostics	when pr	is printing on a terminal.
