--pages=FIRST_PAGE[:LAST_PAGE]
Begin and stop printing with page FIRST_PAGE[:LAST_PAGE]
-h, --header=STRING
Use the string header to replace the file name in the header line.
-d, --double-space
Produce output that is double spaced. An extra <newline> character is output following every
<newline> found in the input.
-n, --number-lines=[char][width]
Provide width digit line numbering. The default for width, if not specified, is 5. The number
occupies the first width column positions of each text column or each line of -m output. If char
(any non-digit character) is given, it is appended to the line number to separate it from whatever
follows. The default for char is a <tab>. Line numbers longer than width columns are truncated.
-N, --first-line-number=NUMBER
start counting with NUMBER at 1st line of first page printed
-t, --omit-header
Write neither the five-line identifying header nor the five-line trailer usually supplied for each
page. Quit writing after the last line of each file without spacing to the end of the page.
-l, --length=PAGE_LENGTH
Override the 66-line default (default number of lines of text 56, and with -F 63) and reset the
page length to lines. If lines is not greater than the sum of both the header and trailer
depths (in lines), the pr utility shall suppress both the header and trailer, as if the -t option
were in effect.
-r, --no-file-warnings
omit warning when a file cannot be opened
-F, --form-feed
Use a <form-feed> for new pages, instead of the default behavior that uses a sequence of
<newline>s.
-w, --width=width
Set the width of the line to width column positions for multiple text-column output only. If the
-w option is not specified and the -s option is not specified, the default width shall be 72. If
the -w option is not specified and the -s option is specified, the default width shall be 512.
-W, --page-width=width
set page width to PAGE_WIDTH (72) characters always, truncate lines, except -J option is set, no
interference with -S or -s
-a, --across
Modify the effect of the - column option so that the columns are filled across the page in a
round-robin order (for example, when column is 2, the first input line heads column 1, the second
heads column 2, the third is the second line in column 1, and so on).
--column=column
Produce multi-column output that is arranged in column columns (the default shall be 1) and is
written down each column in the order in which the text is received from the input file. This
option should not be used with -m. The options -e and -i shall be assumed for multiple text-column
output. Whether or not text columns are produced with identical vertical lengths is unspecified,
but a text column shall never exceed the length of the page (see the -l option). When used with
-t, use the minimum number of lines to write the output.
-s, --separator=char
Separate text columns by the single character char instead of by the appropriate number of
<space>s (default for char is the <tab> character).
-S, --sep-string=string
separate columns by STRING, without -S: Default separator <TAB> with -J and <space> otherwise
(same as -S" "), no effect on column options
-m, --merge
Merge files. Standard output shall be formatted so the pr utility writes one line from each file
specified by a file operand, side by side into text columns of equal fixed widths, in terms of the
number of column positions. Implementations shall support merging of at least nine file operands.
-o, --indent=margin
Each line of output shall be preceded by offset <space>s. If the -o option is not specified, the
default offset shall be zero. The space taken is in addition to the output line width (see the -w
option below).
-J merge full lines, turns off -W line truncation, no column alignment, --sep-string[=STRING] sets
separators
