- NAME
- pr - convert text files for printing
-
- SYNOPSIS
- pr [+PAGE] [-COLUMN] [-abcdfFmrtv] [-e[in-tab-char[in-tab-
- width]]] [-h header] [-i[out-tab-char[out-tab-width]]] [-l
- page-length] [-n[number-separator[digits]]] [-o left-margin]
- [-s[column-separator]] [-w page-width] [file...]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This manual page documents the GNU version of pr. pr prints
- on the standard output a paginated and optionally mul-
- ticolumn 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.
-
- OPTIONS
- +_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 output
- pages.
-
- -_h _h_e_a_d_e_r
- Replace the filename in the header with the string
- _h_e_a_d_e_r.

- -_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 argument
- _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 parallel
- 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 nota-
- tion.
-
- -_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.
