12 | .B pr | |
13 | [ option ] ... | |
14 | [ file ] ... | |
15 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
16 | .I Pr | |
17 | produces a printed listing of one or more | |
18 | .I files. | |
19 | The output is separated into pages headed by a date, | |
20 | the name of the file or a specified header, and the page number. | |
21 | If there are no file arguments, | |
22 | .I pr | |
23 | prints its standard input. | |
24 | .PP | |
25 | Options apply to all following files but may be reset | |
26 | between files: | |
27 | .TP | |
28 | .BI \- n | |
29 | Produce | |
30 | .IR n -column | |
31 | output. | |
32 | .TP | |
33 | .BI + n | |
34 | Begin printing with page | |
35 | .I n. | |
36 | .TP | |
37 | .B \-h | |
38 | Take the next argument as a page header. | |
39 | .TP | |
40 | .BI \-w n | |
41 | For purposes of multi-column output, | |
42 | take the width of the page to be | |
43 | .I n | |
44 | characters instead of the default 72. | |
45 | .TP | |
46 | .BI \-f | |
47 | Use formfeeds instead of newlines to separate pages. | |
48 | A formfeed is assumed to use up two blank lines at the top of a page. | |
49 | (Thus this option does not affect the effective page length.) | |
50 | .TP | |
51 | .BI \-l n | |
52 | Take the length of the page to be | |
53 | .I n | |
54 | lines instead of the default 66. | |
55 | .TP | |
56 | .B \-t | |
57 | Do not print the 5-line header or the | |
58 | 5-line trailer normally supplied for each page. | |
59 | .TP | |
60 | .BI \-s c | |
61 | Separate columns by the single character | |
62 | .I c | |
63 | instead of by the appropriate amount of white space. | |
64 | A missing | |
65 | .I c | |
66 | is taken to be a tab. | |
67 | .TP | |
68 | .B \-m | |
69 | Print all | |
70 | .I files | |
71 | simultaneously, | |
72 | each in one column, | |
73 | .PP | |
74 | Inter-terminal messages via | |
75 | .IR write (1) | |

86 | .I pr | |
87 | is printing on a terminal. |
