.sh DESCRIPTION
.it Pr
produces a printed listing of one or more files.
The output 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,
.it pr
prints its standard
input, and is thus usable as a filter.

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