    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.
