z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command ... - Christian Grothoff

–a Orders input lines across the page on output, instead of down. You should
use this option only with –n.
–c n Displays n columns of output. When you specify this option, pr behaves as
though you had also specified the –e and –i options. When you specify
both this option and –t, pr uses the minimum number of lines possible to
display the output. Do not specify this option with –m.
–d Produces double-spaced output.
–e[char][gap]
Expands each occurrence of the input tab character to a string of spaces so
that the following character has the next column position which is a positive
multiple of gap, plus 1. If you do not specify gap, or if it is zero, pr assumes
that gap has the value of 8. If you specify the nondigit character char, pr
treats it as the input tab character. Otherwise, pr uses the standard tab
character.
–F Uses form feeds to separate pages. pr normally separates pages by
sending a series of characters to fill the length of a page.
–f Uses form feeds to separate pages. When output is to a terminal, pr
sounds the bell and waits for you to type a carriage return before displaying
the text. pr normally separates pages by sending a series of
characters to fill the length of a page.
–H header_fmt
Lets you customize your header line by specifying a format with the string
header_fmt. pr recognizes the following special formatting commands:
%c Date and time
%F Current filename, or header string given by –h
%P Page number
%L Line number
%D Date
%T Time
%u Current user name
The default header format is equivalent to the option:
-H "%c %F Page %P"
–h header
Uses the header string instead of the filename on each succeeding page
header.
–i[char][gap]
Replaces white space with tabs on output. char, if given, is the output tab
character. The default is the tab character. pr sets tabs every gap positions;
the default for gap is 8. If this tab character differs from the input tab
character and the actual data contains this tab character, the result is liable
to be quite a mess.
–l n Sets the number of lines per page of output. The default is 66. The actual
number of lines printed per page is this number less 5 for the header and 5
for the trailer. If n is less than 10 (the number of lines needed for the
header and the trailer), pr displays neither the header nor the trailer.
–m Prints each file in its own column down the page. This overrides the –a
option, forcing the –n option to be the number of files given. When you also
specify the –n option, it gives line numbers for the first column only.
–n[char][n]
Numbers the lines of each file. Each number takes up n positions; the
pr
