<dl><dt><code>--pages=&lt;FIRST_PAGE[:LAST_PAGE]&gt;</code></dt>

<p>Begin and stop printing with page FIRST_PAGE[:LAST_PAGE]</p>

<dt><code>--header=&lt;STRING&gt;</code>, <code>-h &lt;STRING&gt;</code></dt>

<p>Use the string header to replace the file name in the header line.</p>

<dt><code>--double-space</code>, <code>-d</code></dt>

<p>Produce output that is double spaced. An extra <newline> character is output following every <newline><br /> found in the input.</p>

<dt><code>--number-lines=&lt;[char][width]&gt;</code>, <code>-n &lt;[char][width]&gt;</code></dt>

<p>Provide width digit line numbering. The default for width, if not specified, is 5. The number occupies<br /> the first width column positions of each text column or each line of -m output. If char (any non-digit<br /> character) is given, it is appended to the line number to separate it from whatever follows. The default<br /> for char is a <tab>. Line numbers longer than width columns are truncated.</p>

<dt><code>--first-line-number=&lt;NUMBER&gt;</code>, <code>-N &lt;NUMBER&gt;</code></dt>

<p>start counting with NUMBER at 1st line of first page printed</p>

<dt><code>--omit-header</code>, <code>-t</code></dt>

<p>Write neither the five-line identifying header nor the five-line trailer usually supplied for each page. Quit<br /> writing after the last line of each file without spacing to the end of the page.</p>

<dt><code>--length=&lt;PAGE_LENGTH&gt;</code>, <code>-l &lt;PAGE_LENGTH&gt;</code></dt>

<p>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<br /> the header and trailer depths (in lines), the pr utility shall suppress both the header and trailer, as if the<br /> -t option were in effect. </p>

<dt><code>--no-file-warnings</code>, <code>-r</code></dt>

<p>omit warning when a file cannot be opened</p>

<dt><code>--form-feed</code>, <code>-F</code></dt>

<p>Use a <form-feed> for new pages, instead of the default behavior that uses a sequence of <newline>s.</p>

<dt><code>--width=&lt;width&gt;</code>, <code>-w &lt;width&gt;</code></dt>

<p>Set the width of the line to width column positions for multiple text-column output only. If the -w option is<br /> not specified and the -s option is not specified, the default width shall be 72. If the -w option is not specified<br /> and the -s option is specified, the default width shall be 512.</p>

<dt><code>--page-width=&lt;width&gt;</code>, <code>-W &lt;width&gt;</code></dt>

<p>set page width to PAGE_WIDTH (72) characters always,<br /> truncate lines, except -J option is set, no interference<br /> with -S or -s</p>

<dt><code>--across</code>, <code>-a</code></dt>

<p>Modify the effect of the - column option so that the columns are filled across the page in a round-robin order<br /> (for example, when column is 2, the first input line heads column 1, the second heads column 2, the third is the<br /> second line in column 1, and so on).</p>

<dt><code>--column=&lt;column&gt;</code></dt>

<p>Produce multi-column output that is arranged in column columns (the default shall be 1) and is written down each<br /> column in the order in which the text is received from the input file. This option should not be used with -m.<br /> The options -e and -i shall be assumed for multiple text-column output. Whether or not text columns are produced<br /> with identical vertical lengths is unspecified, but a text column shall never exceed the length of the<br /> page (see the -l option). When used with -t, use the minimum number of lines to write the output.</p>

<dt><code>--separator=&lt;char&gt;</code>, <code>-s &lt;char&gt;</code></dt>

<p>Separate text columns by the single character char instead of by the appropriate number of <space>s<br /> (default for char is the <tab> character).</p>

<dt><code>--sep-string=&lt;string&gt;</code>, <code>-S &lt;string&gt;</code></dt>

<p>separate columns by STRING,<br /> without -S: Default separator <TAB> with -J and <space><br /> otherwise (same as -S&quot; &quot;), no effect on column options</p>

<dt><code>--merge</code>, <code>-m</code></dt>

<p>Merge files. Standard output shall be formatted so the pr utility writes one line from each file specified by a<br /> file operand, side by side into text columns of equal fixed widths, in terms of the number of column positions.<br /> Implementations shall support merging of at least nine file operands.</p>

<dt><code>--indent=&lt;margin&gt;</code>, <code>-o &lt;margin&gt;</code></dt>

<p>Each line of output shall be preceded by offset <space>s. If the -o option is not specified, the default offset<br /> shall be zero. The space taken is in addition to the output line width (see the -w option below).</p>

<dt><code>-J</code></dt>

<p>merge full lines, turns off -W line truncation, no column<br /> alignment, --sep-string[=STRING] sets separators</p>
