+Write content of given file or standard input to standard output with pagination filter

+## After help
+
+`+PAGE`           Begin output at page number page of the formatted input.
+`-COLUMN`         Produce multi-column output. See `--column`
+
+The pr utility is a printing and pagination filter
+for text files.  When multiple input files are specified,
+each is read, formatted, and written to standard
+output.  By default, the input is separated
+into 66-line pages, each with
+
+o   A 5-line header with the page number, date,
+time, and the pathname of the file.
+
+o   A 5-line trailer consisting of blank lines.
+
+If standard output is associated with a terminal,
+diagnostic messages are suppressed until the pr
+utility has completed processing.
+
+When multiple column output is specified, text columns
+are of equal width. By default, text columns
+are separated by at least one `<blank>`.  Input lines
+that do not fit into a text column are truncated.
+Lines are not truncated under single column output.
