This manual page documents the GNU version of pprr. pprr
prints on the standard output a paginated and optionally
multicolumn copy of the text files given on the command
line, or of the standard input if no files are given or
when the file name `-' is encountered. Form feeds in the
input cause page breaks in the output.
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
_+_P_A_G_E Begin printing with page _P_A_G_E.
_-_C_O_L_U_M_N
Produce _C_O_L_U_M_N-column output and print columns
down. The column width is automatically decreased
as _C_O_L_U_M_N increases; unless you use the _-_w option
to increase the page width as well, this option
might cause some columns to be truncated.
_-_a Print columns across rather than down.
_-_b Balance columns on the last page.
_-_c Print control characters using hat notation (e.g.,
`^G'); print other unprintable characters in octal
backslash notation.
_-_d Double space the output.
_-_e_[_i_n_-_t_a_b_-_c_h_a_r_[_i_n_-_t_a_b_-_w_i_d_t_h_]_]
Expand tabs to spaces on input. Optional argument
_i_n_-_t_a_b_-_c_h_a_r is the input tab character, default
tab. Optional argument _i_n_-_t_a_b_-_w_i_d_t_h is the input
tab character's width, default 8.
_-_F_, _-_f Use a formfeed instead of newlines to separate out-
put pages.
_-_h _h_e_a_d_e_r
Replace the filename in the header with the string
_h_e_a_d_e_r.
_-_-_h_e_l_p Print a usage message and exit with a non-zero sta-
tus.

_-_i_[_o_u_t_-_t_a_b_-_c_h_a_r_[_o_u_t_-_t_a_b_-_w_i_d_t_h_]_]
Replace spaces with tabs on output. Optional argu-
ment _o_u_t_-_t_a_b_-_c_h_a_r is the output tab character,
default tab. Optional argument _o_u_t_-_t_a_b_-_w_i_d_t_h is
the output tab character's width, default 8.
_-_l _p_a_g_e_-_l_e_n_g_t_h
Set the page length to _p_a_g_e_-_l_e_n_g_t_h lines. The
default is 66. If _p_a_g_e_-_l_e_n_g_t_h is less than 10, the
headers and footers are omitted, as if the _-_t
option had been given.
_-_m Print all files in parallel, one in each column.
_-_n_[_n_u_m_b_e_r_-_s_e_p_a_r_a_t_o_r_[_d_i_g_i_t_s_]_]
Precede each column with a line number; with paral-
lel files, precede each line with a line number.
Optional argument _n_u_m_b_e_r_-_s_e_p_a_r_a_t_o_r is the character
to print after each number, default tab. Optional
argument _d_i_g_i_t_s is the number of digits per line
number, default 5.
_-_o _l_e_f_t_-_m_a_r_g_i_n
Offset each line with a margin _l_e_f_t_-_m_a_r_g_i_n spaces
wide. The total page width is this offset plus the
width set with the _-_w option.
_-_r Do not print a warning message when an argument
file cannot be opened. Failure to open a file
still makes the exit status nonzero, however.
_-_s_[_c_o_l_u_m_n_-_s_e_p_a_r_a_t_o_r_]
Separate columns by the single character _c_o_l_u_m_n_-
_s_e_p_a_r_a_t_o_r, default tab, instead of spaces.
_-_t Do not print the 5-line header and the 5-line
trailer that are normally on each page, and do not
fill out the bottoms of pages (with blank lines or
formfeeds).
_-_v Print unprintable characters in octal backslash
notation.
_-_-_v_e_r_s_i_o_n
Print version information on standard error then
exit.
_-_w _p_a_g_e_-_w_i_d_t_h
Set the page width to _p_a_g_e_-_w_i_d_t_h columns. The
default is 72.
