TL;DR

pr

Paginate or columnate files for printing. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/pr.

  • 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" path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...

  • Print with numbered lines and a custom date format:

pr -n -D "format" path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...

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

pr -m -T 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 page_length path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...

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

pr -o offset -W width path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...
