NAME
     pr - print file

SYNOPSIS
     pr [ option ] ...  [ file ] ...

DESCRIPTION
     _P_r produces a printed listing of one or more _f_i_l_e_s. The out-
     put 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, _p_r prints its standard input.

     Options apply to all following files but may be reset
     between files:

     -_n   Produce _n-column output.

     +_n   Begin printing with page _n.

     -h   Take the next argument as a page header.

     -w_n  For purposes of multi-column output, take the width of
          the page to be _n characters instead of the default 72.

     -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.)

     -l_n  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.

     -s_c  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 _f_i_l_e_s simultaneously, each in one column,

     -p   Print the full pathname for a file as the header.

     Inter-terminal messages via _w_r_i_t_e(1) are forbidden during a
     _p_r.

FILES
     /dev/tty?  to suspend messages.
