Examples

Print multiple files with a default header and footer:

pr {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}

Print with a custom centered header:

pr {{[-h|--header]}} "{{header}}" {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}

Print with numbered lines and a custom date format:

pr {{[-n|--number-lines]}} {{[-D|--date-format]}} "{{format}}" {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}

Print all files together, one in each column, without a header or footer:

pr {{[-m|--merge]}} {{[-T|--omit-pagination]}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}

Print, beginning at page 2 up to page 5, with a given page length (including header and footer):

pr +2:5 {{[-l|--length]}} {{page_length}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}

Print with an offset for each line and a truncating custom page width:

pr {{[-o|--indent]}} {{offset}} {{[-W|--page_width]}} {{width}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}
