pr - manual page for pr 0.0.14
DESCRIPTION
/build/rust-coreutils-mQkL0l/rust-coreutils-0.0.14/debian/tmp/usr/bin/pr 0.0.14 Write
content of given file or standard input to standard output with pagination filter
USAGE:
pr [OPTIONS] [files]...
ARGS:
<files>...
OPTIONS:
-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.
-d, --double-space
Produce output that is double spaced. An extra <newline> character is output
following every <newline>
found in the input.
-F, --form-feed
Use a <form-feed> for new pages, instead of the default behavior that uses a
sequence of <newline>s.
-h, --header <STRING>
Use the string header to replace the file name in the header line.
--help
Show this help message
-J
merge full lines, turns off -W line truncation, no column
alignment, --sep-string[=STRING] sets separators
-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.
-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.
-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
-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).
--pages <FIRST_PAGE[:LAST_PAGE]>
Begin and stop printing with page FIRST_PAGE[:LAST_PAGE]
-r, --no-file-warnings
omit warning when a file cannot be opened
-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
-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.
-V, --version
Show version information
-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
+PAGE
Begin output at page number page of the formatted input.
-COLUMN
Produce multi-column output. See --column
The pr utility is a printing and pagination filter for text files. When multiple input
files are specified, each is read, formatted, and written to standard output. By default,
the input is separated into 66-line pages, each with
o A 5-line header with the page number, date,
time, and the pathname of the file.
o A 5-line trailer consisting of blank lines.
If standard output is associated with a terminal, diagnostic messages are suppressed until
the pr utility has completed processing.
When multiple column output is specified, text columns are of equal width. By default
text columns are separated by at least one <blank>. Input lines that do not fit into a
text column are truncated. Lines are not truncated under single column output.
