NAME
       pr - print file

SYNOPSIS
       pr [ option ...	] [ file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       Pr produces a printed listing of	one or more files on its standard out-
       put.   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  ar-
       guments,	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.

       -en    Set the tab stops	for input text every n spaces.

       -h     Take the next argument as	a page header (file by default).

       -in    Replace  sequences  of  blanks  in the output by tabs, using tab
	      stops set	every n	spaces.

       -f     Use form feeds to	separate pages.

       -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.

       -nm    Number the lines of each file.  The numeric argument m,  default
	      5, sets the width	of the line-number field.

       -on    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.

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