- 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 be-
- tween files:
-
- /n Produce n-column output.
-
- /pn Begin printing with page n.
-
- /h Take the next argument as a page header.
-
- /wn Take the width of the page to be n characters instead
- of the default 80.
-
- /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.
-
- /Tn Take the width of a tab character to be n instead of
- the default 8.
-
- Note the following differences between UNIX pr(1) and PC-DOS
- pr:
-
- . The switch character may be changed from `/' to `-' by
- the documented methods.
-
- . The option structure follows the conventions estab-
- lished by AT&T for UNIX command options, enforced by
- the use of the getopt() function. Options that require

-
- arguments (such as /l) may have white space between the
- option and the argument or not. Several options may be
- concatenated behind a single `/' with no white space
- separating them.
-
- . More than 9 columns are not supported, or 15 files
- printed simultaneously.
-
- . The UNIX "+n" option is replaced by "/pn".
-
- EXAMPLE
-
- pr /t /m filea fileb filec
-
- will print out the three files simultaneously, each in one
- column, without headers.
