NAME
     pr - print file

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

DESCRIPTION
     Pr produces a printed listing of one or more files. The out-
     put 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.

     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.

DIAGNOSTICS
     There are no diagnostics when pr is printing on a terminal.
