DESCRIPTION
paginate or columnate FILE(s) for printing
OPTIONS
--pages=FIRST_PAGE[:LAST_PAGE]
Begin and stop printing with page FIRST_PAGE[:LAST_PAGE]
-h, --header=STRING
Use the string header to replace the file name
in the header line.
-d, --double-space
Produce output that is double spaced. An extra <newline>
character is output following every <newline> found in the input.
-n, --number-lines=[char][width]
Provide width digit line numbering. The default for width,
if not specified, is 5. The number occupies the first width column
positions of each text column or each line of -m output. If char
(any non-digit character) is given, it is appended to the line number
to separate it from whatever follows. The default for char is a <tab>.
Line numbers longer than width columns are truncated.
-N, --first-line-number=NUMBER
start counting with NUMBER at 1st line of first page printed
-t, --omit-header
Write neither the five-line identifying header nor the five-line
trailer usually supplied for each page. Quit writing after the last line
of each file without spacing to the end of the page.
-l, --length=PAGE_LENGTH
Override the 66-line default (default number of lines of text 56,
and with -F 63) and reset the page length to lines. If lines is not
greater than the sum of both the header and trailer depths (in lines),
the pr utility shall suppress both the header and trailer, as if the -t
option were in effect.
-r, --no-file-warnings
omit warning when a file cannot be opened
-F, --form-feed
Use a <form-feed> for new pages, instead of the default behavior that
uses a sequence of <newline>s.
-w, --width=width
Set the width of the line to width column positions for multiple
text-column output only. If the -w option is not specified and the -s option
is not specified, the default width shall be 72. If the -w option is not specified
and the -s option is specified, the default width shall be 512.
-W, --page-width=width
set page width to PAGE_WIDTH (72) characters always,
truncate lines, except -J option is set, no interference
with -S or -s
-a, --across
Modify the effect of the - column option so that the columns are filled
across the page in a round-robin order (for example, when column is 2, the
first input line heads column 1, the second heads column 2, the third is the
second line in column 1, and so on).
--column=column
Produce multi-column output that is arranged in column columns
(the default shall be 1) and is written down each column in the order in which
the text is received from the input file. This option should not be used with -m.
The options -e and -i shall be assumed for multiple text-column output. Whether
or not text columns are produced with identical vertical lengths is unspecified,
but a text column shall never exceed the length of the page (see the -l option).
When used with -t, use the minimum number of lines to write the output.
-s, --separator=char
Separate text columns by the single character char instead of by the
appropriate number of <space>s (default for char is the <tab> character).
-S, --sep-string=string
separate columns by STRING,
without -S: Default separator <TAB> with -J and <space>
otherwise (same as -S\" \"), no effect on column options
-m, --merge
Merge files. Standard output shall be formatted so the pr utility
writes one line from each file specified by a file operand, side by side
into text columns of equal fixed widths, in terms of the number of column
positions. Implementations shall support merging of at least nine file operands.
-o, --indent=margin
Each line of output shall be preceded by offset <space>s. If the -o
option is not specified, the default offset shall be zero. The space taken is
in addition to the output line width (see the -w option below).
-J merge full lines, turns off -W line truncation, no column
alignment, --sep-string[=STRING] sets separators
--help Print help information
-V, --version
Print version
[files]
EXTRA
If no FILE(s) are given, or if FILE is -, read standard input.
When creating multicolumn output, columns will be of equal width. When using the '-s' option to separate
columns, the default separator is a single tab character. When using the '-S' option to separate columns,
the default separator is a single space character.
