PR(1)                   GENIX Programmer's Manual                   PR(1)



      NAME
           pr - print file

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

      DESCRIPTION
           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  argu-
           ments, pr 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.

           -wn  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.)

           -ln  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.

           -sc  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 files simultaneously, each in one column,

           Inter-terminal messages via write(1) are forbidden during a pr.

      FILES
           /dev/tty?  to suspend messages.
