pr Command pr Paginate and print files pr [ options ] [ file ...] pr paginates each named file and sends it to the standard output. The file name `-' means standard input. If no file is named, pr reads the standard input. Each page has a header that gives the date, file name, and page and line numbers. pr may be used with the following options. + skip Skip the first skip pages of each input file. -N Print the text in N columns. This is used to print out material that was typed in one or more columns. -h header Use header in place of the text name in the title. If header is more than one word long, it must be enclosed in quotation marks. -lN Set the page length to N lines (default, 66). -m Print the texts simultaneously, in separate columns. Each text will be assigned an equal amount of width on the page, and any lines longer than that width will be truncated. This is used to print several similar texts or listings simultaneously. -n Number each line as it is printed. -sc Separate each column by the character c. You can separate columns with a letter of the alphabet, a period, or an as- terisk. Normally, each column is left justified in a fixed- width field. -t Suppress the printing of the header on each page, and the header and footer space. -wN Set the page width to N columns (default, 80). Text lines are truncated to fit the column width. The maximum width is 256 columns. ***** See Also ***** cat, commands, nroff ***** Diagnostics ***** Messages are written on the standard error.
