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. | ||
−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 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.
