POSIX requires 'pr -p' to support paging (although it incorrectly stated that it waits for \r, and is being fixed to wait for \n instead): https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1433 During discussion of the behavior of -p today, the Austin Group was surprised that coreutils' pr lacks -p altogether.
Given that hardly anybody uses pr any more, I'm surprised that the Austin Group still cares about its options. It's an obsolete utility, and ought to be deprecated.
