EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
UNIX95, if defined, specifies that the
pr command uses XPG4 behavior.
LC_CTYPE determines the interpretation of text and the arguments associated with the
-e, -i, -n, and
-s options as single-byte and/or multi-byte characters.
LC_TIME determines the format and contents of date and time strings.
LC_MESSAGES determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If LC_CTYPE, LC_TIME,orLC_MESSAGES is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty
string, the value of LANG is used as a default for each unspecified or empty variable. If
LANG is not
specified or is set to the empty string, a default of
C (see lang(5)) is used instead of
LANG.
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,
pr behaves as if all internationalization
variables are set to
C. See environ(5).
International Code Set Support
Single-byte and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
RETURN VALUE
