Options apply to all following files but may be reset between files:
- n Produce n -column output.
+ n Begin printing with page n .
-b Balance columns on last page, in case of multi-column output.
-d Double space.
-e n Set the tab stops for input text every n spaces.
-h Take the next argument as a page header ( file by default).
-i n Replace sequences of blanks in the output by tabs, using tab stops set every n spaces.
-f Use form feeds to separate pages.
-l n Take the length of the page to be n lines instead of the default 66.
-m Print all files simultaneously, each in one column.
-n m Number the lines of each file . The numeric argument m , default 5, sets the width of the line-number field.
-o n Offset the left margin n character positions.
-p Pad each file printed to an even number of pages, if necessary. For two-sided printers, this will ensure each file will start a new page.
-s c Separate columns by the single character c instead of aligning them with white space. A missing c is taken to be a tab.
-t Do not print the 5-line header or the 5-line trailer normally supplied for each page.
-w n For multi-column output, take the width of the page to be n characters instead of the default 72.
