MORE(l) MORE (l)
stand-out mode, more will output appropriate escape
sequences to enable underlining or stand-out mode for
underlined information in the source file. The - u option
suppresses this processing.
+linenumber
Start up at linenumber.
+/pattern
Start up two lines before the line containing the regular
expression pattern.
If the program is invoked as page, then the screen is cleared
before each screen full is printed {but only if a full screen is being
printed), and k - 1 rather than k - 2 lines are printed in each
screen full, where k is the number of lines the terminal can
display.
More looks in the TERMCAP environment variable or the file
/etc/termca.p to determine terminal characteristics, and to
determine the default window size. On a terminal capable of
displaying 24 lines, the default window size is 22 lines.
More looks in the environment variable MORE to pre-set any
flags desired. For example, if you prefer to view files using the -c
mode of operation, the cBh command Betenv MORE - c or the Bh
command sequence MORE= '-c' ; export MORE would cause all
invocations of more , including invocations by programs such as
man and mBgB, to use this mode. Normally, the user will place
l
the command sequence which sets up the MORE environment �. )
variable in the .cshrc or .profile file.
If more is reading from a file, rather than a pipe, then a percentage
is displayed along with the --More-- prompt. This gives the
fraction of the file {in characters, not lines) that has been read so
far.
Other sequences which may be typed when more pauses, and their
effects, are as follows ( i is an optional integer argument, defaulting
to 1):
i
display i more lines, (or another screen full if no argument
is given)
·o display 11 more lines (a "scroll"). If i is given, then the
scroll size is set to i.
d same as ·o (control-D)
iz same as typing a space except that i, if present, becomes
the new window size.
is skip i lines and print a screen full of lines
if skip i screen fulls and print a screen full of lines
q or Q Exit from more .
Display the current line number.
