NAME
       pr - print file

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

DESCRIPTION
       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.

       -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.)

       -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.

FILES
       /dev/tty?  to suspend messages.

SEE ALSO
       cat(1)

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