(info "(coreutils) pr invocation") says‘-a’ ‘--across’ ... The ‘-COLUMN’ option must be given with COLUMN greater Well I tried it with no -COLUMN option, and no warning or error was issued. So do document what is going on. By the way $ info pr|grep COL|od -c shows lots of 342 200 230 - C O L U M but these all need two dashes, not one, else $ pr -COLUMN pr: invalid option -- 'C' Wait, be sure every time you mention -COLUMN you also say "(e.g., -11)" else nobody will know what you are talking about.
Yes that is a bit confusing. I've pushed a change to prefer --columns over -COLUMN thanks, Padraig
