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

pr
Files
default for n is 5. The character char separates the number from the line;
this defaults to the tab character. If char is the same as the input tab
character, pr follows the number with the spaces needed to get to the next
tab stop. pr may in turn replace these spaces with the output tab character
if you specified the –i option. For multicolumn output, pr adds line numbers
to each column. The –m option gives the line number for the first column
only.
–o n Offsets each line of output by n character positions.
–p Pauses before the beginning of each page if output is to a terminal device.
pr sounds the bell and waits for a carriage return from the controlling
workstation (not the input files).
–r Suppresses error messages due to failures when opening files.
–s[char]
Prints each column at its correct length. The character char separates
columns. The default value for char is the tab character. This character is
never replaced by the output tab character. Normally pr pads each column
with spaces or truncates it to the exact column width. Unless the –w option
is also used, –s resets the page width to 512 column positions.
–t Does not print the headers and trailers, and quits after the last line of the
file—it does not display any extra lines.
–W Folds lines at the column width when you do not specify the –s option; pr
treats each separate part of the line as a separate line.
–w n Sets the width of the page to n column positions. If you do not specify this
option, the default page width is 72 (if you did not specify –s option) or 512
(if you did specify –s). This page width does not normally apply to
single-column output; however, single-column output with the –W option
does use this width.
pr uses the following file:
/dev/tty
For prompting.
