NAME
     pr  -  print file

SYNOPSIS
     pr  [ -h header ] [ -n ] [ +n ] [ -wn ] [ -ln ] [ -t ] [ -sc
     ] [ -m ] name . . .

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 arguments, pr prints its standard input,
     and is thus usable as a filter.

     Options apply to all following files but may  be  reset  be-
     tween files:

     -n   produce n-column output

     +n   begin printing with page n

     -h   treat  the next argument as a header to be used instead
          of the file name

     -wn  for purposes of multi-column output, take the width  of
          the page to be n characters instead of the default 72

     -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

     Interconsole  messages  via  write(I) are forbidden during a
     pr.

FILES
     /dev/tty?  to suspend messages.

DIAGNOSTICS
