     SYNOPSIS
	  pr [ options ] [ files ]

     HP-UX COMPATIBILITY
	  Level:    HP-UX/STANDARD

	  Origin:   System V

	  Native Language Support:
		    8-bit data, customs, messages.

     DESCRIPTION
	  Pr prints the named files on the standard output.   If  file
	  is  -,  or  if no files are specified, the standard input is
	  assumed.  By default, the listing is separated  into	pages,
	  each	headed	by  the	 page number, a date and time, and the
	  name of the file.

	  By default, columns are of  equal  width,  separated	by  at
	  least	 one  space;  lines which do not fit are truncated. If
	  the -s option is used, lines are not truncated  and  columns
	  are separated by the separation character.

	  If the standard output is associated with a terminal,	 error
	  messages are withheld until pr has completed printing.

	  The below options may appear singly or be  combined  in  any
	  order:

	  +k   Begin printing with page k (default is 1).

	  -k   Produce k-column output (default is 1).	The options -e
	       and -i are assumed for multi-column output.

	  -a   Print multi-column output across the page.

	  -m   Merge and  print	 all  files  simultaneously,  one  per
	       column (overrides the -k, and -a options).

	  -d   Double-space the output.

	  -eck Expand input tabs to character  positions  k+1,	2*k+1,
	       3*k+1,  etc.   If  k  is	 0  or is omitted, default tab
	       settings at every eighth	 position  are	assumed.   Tab
	       characters   in	 the   input  are  expanded  into  the
	       appropriate number of  spaces.	If  c  (any  non-digit
	       character)  is  given,  it  is treated as the input tab
	       character (default for c is the tab character).
	  -ick In output, replace white	 space	wherever  possible  by
	       inserting  tabs	to  character  positions  k+1,	2*k+1,
	       3*k+1, etc.  If k is  0	or  is	omitted,  default  tab
	       settings	 at  every  eighth position are assumed.  If c
	       (any non-digit character) is given, it  is  treated  as
	       the  output  tab	 character  (default  for c is the tab
	       character).

	  -nck Provide k-digit line numbering (default for  k  is  5).
	       The  number  occupies the first k+1 character positions
	       of each column of normal output	or  each  line	of  -m
	       output.	If c (any non-digit character) is given, it is
	       appended	 to  the  line	number	to  separate  it  from
	       whatever follows (default for c is a tab).

	  -wk  Set the width  of  a  line  to  k  character  positions
	       (default	 is 72 for equal-width multi-column output, no
	       limit otherwise).

	  -ok  Offset each line by k character positions  (default  is
	       0).   The number of character positions per line is the
	       sum of the width and offset.

	  -lk  Set the length of a page to k lines (default is 66).

	  -h   Use the next argument  as  the  header  to  be  printed
	       instead of the file name.

	  -p   Pause before beginning  each  page  if  the  output  is
	       directed	 to  a	terminal (pr will ring the bell at the
	       terminal and wait for a carriage return).

	  -f   Use form-feed character for new pages  (default	is  to
	       use  a sequence of line-feeds).	Pause before beginning
	       the first page if the  standard	output	is  associated
	       with a terminal.

	  -r   Print no diagnostic reports on failure to open files.

	  -t   Print neither the five-line identifying header nor  the
	       five-line  trailer  normally  supplied  for  each page.
	       Quit printing after the last line of each file  without
	       spacing to the end of the page.

	  -sc  Separate columns by the single character c  instead  of
	       by the appropriate number of spaces (default for c is a
	       tab).

     EXAMPLES
	  Print file1  and  file2  as  a  double-spaced,  three-column
	  listing headed by ``file list'':
	       pr -3dh "file list" file1 file2

	  Write file1 on file2, expanding tabs to columns 10, 19,  28,
	  37, ... :

	       pr -e9 -t <file1 >file2

     FILES
	  /dev/tty* to suspend messages
