.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This manual page
|
|
documents the GNU version of
|
|
.BR pr .
|
|
.B pr
|
|
prints on the standard output a paginated and optionally multicolumn
|
|
copy of the text files given on the command line, or of the standard
|
|
input if no files are given or when the file name `\-' is encountered.
|
|
Form feeds in the input cause page breaks in the output.
|
|
.SS OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \+PAGE
|
|
Begin printing with page \fIPAGE\fP.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-COLUMN
|
|
Produce \fICOLUMN\fP-column output and print columns down. The column
|
|
width is automatically decreased as \fICOLUMN\fP increases; unless you
|
|
use the \fI\-w\fP option to increase the page width as well, this
|
|
option might cause some columns to be truncated.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-a
|
|
Print columns across rather than down.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-b
|
|
Balance columns on the last page.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-c
|
|
Print control characters using hat notation (e.g., `^G'); print other
|
|
unprintable characters in octal backslash notation.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-d
|
|
Double space the output.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "\-e[in-tab-char[in-tab-width]]"
|
|
Expand tabs to spaces on input. Optional argument \fIin-tab-char\fP
|
|
is the input tab character, default tab. Optional argument
|
|
\fIin-tab-width\fP is the input tab character's width, default 8.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "\-F, \-f"
|
|
Use a formfeed instead of newlines to separate output pages.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "\-h header"
|
|
Replace the filename in the header with the string \fIheader\fP.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "\-\-help"
|
|
Print a usage message and exit with a non-zero status.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "\-i[out-tab-char[out-tab-width]]"
|
|
Replace spaces with tabs on output. Optional argument
|
|
\fIout-tab-char\fP is the output tab character, default tab.
|
|
Optional argument \fIout-tab-width\fP is the output tab character's
|
|
width, default 8.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "\-l page-length"
|
|
Set the page length to \fIpage-length\fP lines. The default is 66.
|
|
If \fIpage-length\fP is less than 10, the headers and footers are
|
|
omitted, as if the \fI\-t\fP option had been given.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-m
|
|
Print all files in parallel, one in each column.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "\-n[number-separator[digits]]"
|
|
Precede each column with a line number; with parallel files, precede
|
|
each line with a line number. Optional argument
|
|
\fInumber-separator\fP is the character to print after each number,
|
|
default tab. Optional argument \fIdigits\fP is the number of digits
|
|
per line number, default 5.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "\-o left-margin"
|
|
Offset each line with a margin \fIleft-margin\fP spaces wide. The
|
|
total page width is this offset plus the width set with the \fI\-w\fP
|
|
option.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-r
|
|
Do not print a warning message when an argument file cannot be opened.

Failure to open a file still makes the exit status nonzero, however.

|
|
default tab, instead of spaces.

|
|
blank lines or formfeeds).
