- DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
- This manual page documents the GNU version of pprr. pprr
- prints on the standard output a paginated and optionally
- multicolumn copy of the text files given on the command
- line, or of the standard input if no files are given or
- when the file name `-' is encountered. Form feeds in the
- input cause page breaks in the output.
-
- OOPPTTIIOONNSS
- _+_P_A_G_E Begin printing with page _P_A_G_E.
-
- _-_C_O_L_U_M_N
- Produce _C_O_L_U_M_N-column output and print columns
- down. The column width is automatically decreased
- as _C_O_L_U_M_N increases; unless you use the _-_w option
- to increase the page width as well, this option
- might cause some columns to be truncated.
-
- _-_a Print columns across rather than down.
-
- _-_b Balance columns on the last page.
-
- _-_c Print control characters using hat notation (e.g.,
- `^G'); print other unprintable characters in octal
- backslash notation.
-
- _-_d Double space the output.
-
- _-_e_[_i_n_-_t_a_b_-_c_h_a_r_[_i_n_-_t_a_b_-_w_i_d_t_h_]_]
- Expand tabs to spaces on input. Optional argument
- _i_n_-_t_a_b_-_c_h_a_r is the input tab character, default
- tab. Optional argument _i_n_-_t_a_b_-_w_i_d_t_h is the input
- tab character's width, default 8.
-
- _-_F_, _-_f Use a formfeed instead of newlines to separate out-
- put pages.
-
- _-_h _h_e_a_d_e_r
- Replace the filename in the header with the string
- _h_e_a_d_e_r.
-
- _-_-_h_e_l_p Print a usage message and exit with a non-zero sta-
- tus.

- _-_i_[_o_u_t_-_t_a_b_-_c_h_a_r_[_o_u_t_-_t_a_b_-_w_i_d_t_h_]_]
- Replace spaces with tabs on output. Optional argu-
- ment _o_u_t_-_t_a_b_-_c_h_a_r is the output tab character,
- default tab. Optional argument _o_u_t_-_t_a_b_-_w_i_d_t_h is
- the output tab character's width, default 8.
-
- _-_l _p_a_g_e_-_l_e_n_g_t_h
- Set the page length to _p_a_g_e_-_l_e_n_g_t_h lines. The
- default is 66. If _p_a_g_e_-_l_e_n_g_t_h is less than 10, the
- headers and footers are omitted, as if the _-_t
- option had been given.
-
- _-_m Print all files in parallel, one in each column.
-
- _-_n_[_n_u_m_b_e_r_-_s_e_p_a_r_a_t_o_r_[_d_i_g_i_t_s_]_]
- Precede each column with a line number; with paral-
- lel files, precede each line with a line number.
- Optional argument _n_u_m_b_e_r_-_s_e_p_a_r_a_t_o_r is the character
- to print after each number, default tab. Optional
- argument _d_i_g_i_t_s is the number of digits per line
- number, default 5.
-
- _-_o _l_e_f_t_-_m_a_r_g_i_n
- Offset each line with a margin _l_e_f_t_-_m_a_r_g_i_n spaces
- wide. The total page width is this offset plus the
- width set with the _-_w option.
-
- _-_r Do not print a warning message when an argument
- file cannot be opened. Failure to open a file
- still makes the exit status nonzero, however.
-
- _-_s_[_c_o_l_u_m_n_-_s_e_p_a_r_a_t_o_r_]
- Separate columns by the single character _c_o_l_u_m_n_-
- _s_e_p_a_r_a_t_o_r, default tab, instead of spaces.
-
- _-_t Do not print the 5-line header and the 5-line
- trailer that are normally on each page, and do not
- fill out the bottoms of pages (with blank lines or
- formfeeds).
-
- _-_v Print unprintable characters in octal backslash
- notation.
-
- _-_-_v_e_r_s_i_o_n
- Print version information on standard error then
- exit.
-
- _-_w _p_a_g_e_-_w_i_d_t_h
- Set the page width to _p_a_g_e_-_w_i_d_t_h columns. The
- default is 72.
