It is a required program in a POSIX-compliant environment and has been implemented by GNU as part of the GNU Core Utilities. The command is available as a separate package for Microsoft Windows as part of the UnxUtils collection of native Win32 ports of common GNU Unix-like utilities.^[1] It is also available in the OS-9 shell.^[2] The pr command has also been ported to the IBM i operating system.^[3]
