.TH PR 1 .SH NAME pr \- print file .SH SYNOPSIS .B pr [ .I option ... ] [ .I file ... ] .SH DESCRIPTION .I Pr produces a printed listing of one or more .I files 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 prints its standard input. .PP Options apply to all following files but may be reset between files: .TP .BI - n Produce .IR n -column output. .TP .BI + n Begin printing with page .IR n . .TP .B -b Balance columns on last page, in case of multi-column output. .TP .B -d Double space. .TP .BI -e n Set the tab stops for input text every .I n spaces. .TP .B -h Take the next argument as a page header .RI ( file by default). .TP .BI -i n Replace sequences of blanks in the output by tabs, using tab stops set every .I n spaces. .TP .BI -f Use form feeds to separate pages. .TP .BI -l n Take the length of the page to be .I n lines instead of the default 66. .TP .B -m Print all .I files simultaneously, each in one column. .TP .BI -n m Number the lines of each .IR file . The numeric argument .IR m , default 5, sets the width of the line-number field. .TP .BI -o n Offset the left margin .I n character positions. .TP .BI -p Pad each file printed to an even number of pages, if necessary. For two-sided printers, this will ensure each file will start a new page. .TP .BI -s c Separate columns by the single character .I c instead of aligning them with white space. A missing .I c is taken to be a tab. .TP .B -t Do not print the 5-line header or the 5-line trailer normally supplied for each page. .TP .BI -w n For multi-column output, take the width of the page to be .I n characters instead of the default 72. .SH SOURCE .B /sys/src/cmd/pr.c .SH "SEE ALSO" .IR cat (1), .IR lp (1)
