MORE ( I) MORE ( l ) NAME more, page - file perusal filter for crt viewing SYNOPSIS more [ - cdftsu ] [ -n ] [ +linen umber ] [ +/pattern ] [ name . . . ] page more options DESCRIPTION More is a filter which allows examination of a continuous text one screen full (or window full} at a time on a soft-copy terminal . It normally pauses after each screen full, printing --More-- at the bottom of the screen. If the user then types a carriage return, one more line is displayed. If the user hits a space, another screen full is displayed. Other possibilities are enumerated later. The command line options are: -n An integer which is the size (in lines) of the window which more will use instead of the default. -c More will draw each page by beginning at the top of the screen and erasing each line just before it draws on it. This avoids scrolling the screen, making it easier to read while more is writing. This option will be ignored if the terminal does not have the ability to clear to the end of a line. -d More will prompt the user with the message Hit space to continue, Rubout to abort at the end of each screen full. This is useful if more is being used as a filter in some setting, such as a class, where many users may be unsophisticated. -f This causes more to count logical lines, rather than screen lines. That is, long lines are not folded. This option is recommended if nroff output is being piped through ul, since the latter may generate escape sequences. These escape sequences contain characters which would ordinarily occupy screen positions, but which do not print when they are sent to the terminal as part of an escape sequence. Thus more may think that lines are longer than they actually are, and fold lines erroneously. -1 Do not treat ·L (form feed} specially. If this option is not given, more will pause after any line that contains a ·L , as if the end of a screen full had been reached. Also, if a file begins with a form feed, the screen will be cleared before the file is printed. -s Squeeze multiple blank lines from the output, producing only one blank line. Especially helpful when viewing nroff output, this option maximizes the useful information present on the screen. -u Normally, more will handle underlining such as produced by nroff in a manner appropriate to the particular terminal: if the terminal can perform underlining or has a - 1 -
