<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
<i>Pr</i> produces a printed listing of one or more <i>files</i> on its standard
output. 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 arguments, <i>pr</i> prints its standard input.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
Options apply to all following files but may be reset between
files:<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;</font></tt><i>n</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Produce <i>n</i>-column output.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>+</font></tt><i>n</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Begin printing with page <i>n</i>.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;b</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Balance columns on last page, in case of multi-column output.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;d</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Double space.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;e</font></tt><i>n</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Set the tab stops for input text every <i>n</i> spaces.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;h</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Take the next argument as a page header (<i>file</i> by default).<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;i</font></tt><i>n</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Replace sequences of blanks in the output by tabs, using tab
stops set every <i>n</i> spaces.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;f</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Use form feeds to separate pages.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;l</font></tt><i>n</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Take the length of the page to be <i>n</i> lines instead of the default
66.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;m</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Print all <i>files</i> simultaneously, each in one column.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;n</font></tt><i>m</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Number the lines of each <i>file</i>. The numeric argument <i>m</i>, default
5, sets the width of the line-number field.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;o</font></tt><i>n</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Offset the left margin <i>n</i> character positions.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;p</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pad each file printed to an odd number of pages. For two-sided
printers, this will ensure each file will start a new page.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;s</font></tt><i>c</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Separate columns by the single character <i>c</i> instead of aligning
them with white space. A missing <i>c</i> is taken to be a tab.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;t</font></tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Do not print the 5-line header or the 5-line trailer normally
supplied for each page.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>&#8722;w</font></tt><i>n</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For multi-column output, take the width of the page to be <i>n</i>
characters instead of the default 72.<br>
