     _\bP_\br produces a printed listing of one or more _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be_\bs. 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, _\bp_\br prints its standard input.

     Options apply to all following files but may be reset
     between files:

     -\b-_\bn   Produce _\bn-column output.

     +\b+_\bn   Begin printing with page _\bn.

     -\b-h\bh   Take the next argument as a page header.

     -\b-w\bw_\bn  For purposes of multi-column output, take the width of
          the page to be _\bn characters instead of the default 72.

     -\b-f\bf   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.)

     -\b-l\bl_\bn  Take the length of the page to be _\bn lines instead of
          the default 66.

     -\b-t\bt   Do not print the 5-line header or the 5-line trailer
          normally supplied for each page.

     -\b-s\bs_\bc  Separate columns by the single character _\bc instead of
          by the appropriate amount of white space.  A missing _\bc
          is taken to be a tab.

     -\b-m\bm   Print all _\bf_\bi_\bl_\be_\bs simultaneously, each in one column,

     Inter-terminal messages via _\bw_\br_\bi_\bt_\be(1) are forbidden during a
     _\bp_\br.

     There are no diagnostics when _\bp_\br is printing on a terminal.
